We are learning about the key characters in the book, as well as puzzle out the plot from the illustrations we have had sneaky peaks at. In maths, we have continued with our work on fractions. This week we looked at mixed numbers in particular
Questions to ask at home -
- What is a numerator?
- What is a denominator?
- What is a unit fraction?
- What is a non-unit fraction?
- What is a improper fraction?
- What is a mixed number or mixed fraction?
- What is a block poem?
Children’s highlights of the week

Looking forward:
This week, the children will continue to explore our new English book, the Lost Happy Endings and fractions in maths.
In the afternoons, the children will continue with their work on databases. Look at Christian Aid in R.E. They have also got a super carousel afternoon on Thursday, where the class will be involved in lots of coronation activities.
Homework in Year 4
Maths – pink sheet
English – contractions/synonyms and antonyms
Reading – daily at least 15 mins – remember to take the Accelerated Reader Quizzes
Rockstars – as much as possible 10 mins daily is ideal – at least once a week for 20 mins
Spellings – Mrs Riddell – Please learn them for the test on Wednesday. It is better to look at them for 5 minutes each day than try to learn them all in one night. The children remember them better learnt over the week.
Could the children please complete their homework in pencil or blue/black pen not felt tip.
Timestables – for Thursday - the children will be getting new timestables this week - (these were given out on Friday with how many columns the children need to learn.)
(This can be handed it at anytime before Friday, the children know where the basket is)
