First Holy Communion:

This Sunday a number of children in Room 4 and in our Parish will celebrate their First Holy Communion at 9 am Mass. This is a very important stepping-stone in their faith journey and it would be lovely to have the support of their school-mates. Please pray for these children and their families.

Fractions:

We have been doing a lot of work on number stories for fractions. Please encourage your child to show you how they can work this out.  Remind them to draw a fraction circle to help them.

1. There were 40 apples on the tree. ¼ of them got over-ripe and fell off. How many apples were left on the tree?

2. There were 27 children on the bus. ⅔ of them got off the bus. How many children were left on the bus?

Have a great week. Markelle Ward J
