Good afternoon Year 4 and welcome back! Although it has been
lovely to see the class come back to school full of enthusiasm, the children have
had to be reminded quite a lot this week about the level of noise disrupting
their learning. I am looking forward to you all coming into school a lot more
focused next week.
Highlights of the week.
We started the week by making the most of the beautiful sunshine and the children had a maths lesson outside. They practically consolidated their understanding of placing decimal numbers on a human number line. They have worked really hard on this and are now very secure in this topic. The children have also been working really hard on their times tables this week and have been increasing their accuracy and speed. We have now completed our 2s, 10s, 5s,11s,3s,6s,4s,8s and 9s. Next week we will be focusing on our 7s. Please make sure you are practising this times table at home. In English, the children have been using their senses to write spooky stories. I have been really impressed with the huge improvement in the children’s writing since the start of the year. Keep it up Year 4!
