Talk homework is singing homework this week - Multiplication songs
This week we have focused on how to find fractions of a whole. We also listened to multiplication songs to help us get ready for our tests in June.
In English, we have looked at fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases with prepositional phrase and using inverted commas in great detail.
We are looking forward to our trip next week!

This week in Maths we have been learning about equivalent fractions, 1/5 = 2/10. Watch this video to recap on the lesson.
In English, we wrote a respectful letter to Mr Irons to inform him of the circumstances of the new boy at school based on Power of Reading book. We also used our listening and speaking skills to hold a debate in the classroom.
We had a fun time using modroc to create our suffragette badge and will be completing these next week.
Hope you have a lovely weekend.

In English, we have been exploring empathy by understanding the feelings of the characters in our Power of Reading book. The children have discussed how our actions can make others feel.
In Maths, we have been working hard on our fractions. We have learnt how to find the value of the parts: within a whole and greater than a whole.
On our Topic day, we focused on the Suffragettes and how their actions have affected us.

We have had an exciting week with World Book Day on Thursday. Throughout the day, we celebrated the joy of reading.
We started the morning with awarding the winners of the school writing competition, Aiden in Year 4 won 3rd place.
Then the whole Year 4 gathered into one classroom and enjoyed hot chocolate and biscuits whilst sharing our favourite books. Afterwards, there was a book swap where the children were able to swap their book for another one that had been brought in by others. The children liked the idea of reusing each other’s book and saving the environment.
Finally, we watched a live event on the World Book Day website where author Nathan Byran and illustrator Dapple Adiola spoke about where they got their inspiration from for the stories and illustrations.
Happy reading!
