Hello!

We hope that 2018 has started well for you. We are off to a good start in Year 4:

In Maths we have been continuing with fractions. The children have retained their knowledge from before Christmas very well, completing a loop card challenge with their peers. They solved problems and defined key terminology such as ‘mixed number’, ‘improper’ and ‘equivalent’ fractions.

In English we have started looking at Captain Hook as a character from our new book, Peter Pan. The children have learnt and used some new vocabulary to generate phrases and sentences to describe him and his crew. For example:

• nonchalant
• villainous
• menacing
• regal

In RE we have finished our short unit of ‘Christmas’ and we look forward to starting ‘Revelations’ next week.

We hope that you have received the letter regarding the changes to our homework policy and that you and your child will find it beneficial. Spellings have been set this week and are in your child’s diary. We would like to remind you that diaries should be in school every day. Maths homework will be sent home next week.

Wishing you a restful weekend, ready for a full week at school starting Monday!

Team 4  🙂
