Good Afternoon Year 4,

I hope you have all had a great week! This week has been full of fun learning. The children have transformed 'The adventures of a dish and a spoon,' into a fantastic playscript. They have also been working hard to solve money problems using the 'counting up' method. This method highlights finding the difference between two amounts. Lots of the children need to continue to practise this at home so your support would be appreciated. 

Next week

Maths – We will be adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator.

Science - We will be learning to classify different materials into their states of matter and explain how we know this. 

PSHE - To identify what it means to be a good friend to me. 

History - To explore how the Egyptians wrote.

Good Afternoon Year 4,

I hope you have all had a great week! This week we have started reading Alice in Wonderland and the children have really enjoyed this!

We have really focused on adding and subtracting with decimals but also estimating answers.
