Another week finished in Year 4!

In Maths this week we having been look at finding fractions of amounts and solving simple word problems involving fractions.

Our English work this week has involved orally rehearsing vocabulary in preparation to write a commentary for a scene in the Peter Pan film.

RE this week has progressed onto looking closely at Jesus’s Transfiguration and its link to light.

For home learning over next week the children have to practise telling the time in both analogue and digital (12hr and 24hr). This could include counting the number of minutes until a given point and converting minutes to hours (and vice versa). If this is something you find easy, then why not try solving word problems that involve time conversions!

Why not try learning this off-by-heart…

30 days have September, April, June and November.

All the rest have 31.

Except for February alone, which has 28 each year and 29 each leap year!

Finally, some children will have the next set of five YR5/6 words.

 

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 4 Team!
