Hello!

Here’s a quick round up of what we have been learning this week in Year 4…

In Maths we have been continuing with our unit on multiplication and division. We’re relying heavily on our times tables knowledge, so thank you to all of you have been busy practising in light of parents’ evening targets. We have learnt how to use the grid method alongside number lines to solve tricky 2 digit by 1 digit multiplication problems such as 46 x 7.

In English we have been exploring the features of explanation texts. The children have been generating content and vocabulary to include in their own explanation text, ‘How to look after a snowman’. This has included doing a science investigation and some drama.

In RE we have just started our unit on Advent by looking at our own family trees. We thought about how our families have shaped who we are.  This relates to  the Jesse Tree, which is Jesus’s family tree. We look forward to presenting the work we have been doing at the Advent service on Tuesday.

Spellings this week are from the Year 3/4 spelling words:

though

thought

through

various

weight

woman/women

Please also recap words ending in -ful and words that follow the double consonant rule. Thank you.

Have a lovely weekend!
