Hello,

We hope you are looking forward to our year group assembly this Friday!

This week we have continued our look at the Saxons, turning our attention to the life of Alfred the great. At the end of our unit the children will be writing a biography of the life of Alfred the Great, they are already very enthusiastic. Hopefully the children will already have come home filled with facts about this Saxon king, however this does present a great opportunity for doing some research as part of their home learning.

In maths we have returned to our exploration of fractions. It is vital that children gain a strong grasp of what fractions are in a meaningful context; perhaps you could support your child’s learning in this by asking them to divide the laundry into quarters, or ask the children what fraction of the ingredients they will need for everyone’s dinner.

We can’t wait to see what imaginative things the children will do for their home learning!

Thank you,

Year 4 Team
