Happy Friday All,

Another fun week of learning in Year 4 passes us by. The children have been working hard on finding equivalent fractions to understand how to order and compare fractions. We have also started our new text, Bill's New Frock. This led us to an exciting debate in class this week about gender stereotypes and our thoughts. 

Next week

English – We will be planning a discussion text. 

Maths – We will be reading the time on analogue clocks. 

Science - We will be identifying common electrical appliances and thinking about where in the home electricity is found. 

RE - We will be discussing the Bhagavad Gita.

Art and Design - We will be making our moving toy. (Please provide one box)

Computing - We will be recording sound. 

Half Term Project 

This half term the children are required to make their own fraction game. This should be an innovative, engaging game that they have sequenced using their fraction knowledge from our maths lessons. Please try to make the game no bigger than an A3 sheet as space is limited in the classroom. If the children prefer, they can make it an interactive game using PPT or a card game. 

Please ensure the children have solved their own problems before putting them into the game. 

This project is due in from Monday 15th May 2023. 

Have Fun! 

Please ensure the children are using TTRS as much as possible to practise their times tables. In Year 4, it is helpful for the children to secure their recall of timestables in preparation for Year 5. The children should also ensure they are practicing their use of homophones/near homophones. There is a list below to support your understanding.

Welcome Back and Happy Friday All,

We have certainly jumped straight back into learning and pushed ourselves through some difficult learning this week. The children have been trying to solve word problems involving fractions and measures. The children have been resilient this week although they should continue to practise solving these kinds of problems. In English, we have been focusing on our grammar knowledge. The children have learnt this week how to use prepositions to modify sentences. 

Next week

English – We will be starting our new text, Bill's New Frock. We will be writing a persuasive letter. 

Maths – We will be looking at equivalent fractions.

Science - We will be identifying common electrical appliances and thinking about where in the home electricity is found. 

RE - We will be learning about what wisdom is. 

Art and Design - We will be planning our moving toy. 

Computing - We will be recording sound.
