Hello everyone,

We hope you have had a fantastic week and enjoying the slightly brighter mornings!

This week, the children have been working extremely hard in Maths focusing on solving problems with increasingly harder fractions. Revisiting Fractions this term gave children the opportunity to show off all of their strategies and different ways to represent these fractions. These included bar models, numberlines, arrays and many more. Next week, we are going to continue to solve problems but with a clearer focus on word and multistep to really challenge year 4.

In English, we started a new unit with a letter from Greta Thunberg. It was amazing to see the reaction of Koalas and Kangaroos and how passionate they are about looking after the Earth and God’s creations. Throughout the next couple of weeks, the children are going to gather facts about our environments, go on a local study around the school to see the threats on habitats in order for them to write a persuasive letter to inform the world on how we can save our environment and the importance of acting now!

Tomorrow, Friday 7th is STEM day and we are all really excited to create our own Biomes. Children all week have been bringing in resources and coming up with ideas that they want to do for their micro habitats. A quick thanks for all the resources the children have brought in already, and thankyou for any future resources!
