…Settled back into school for our final half term of Year 4! Performed brilliantly in our last Ukulele lesson.
Next week we will:

Words to learn for Friday 16th June: fatigue, colleague, catalogue, dialogue, league, tongue, vague, rogue, analogue, Prague
Reading: we will continue to explore questions from the book ‘Fantastically Great Women Who Saved Our Planet’ and learn about the Shark Lady!
Reading homework: Keep reading daily- reading for just 10-15 minutes a day can have several benefits, such as improving concentration and memory, improving mental stimulation, expanding your vocabulary, improving your sleep quality, and reducing stress. Goldfinches are doing so well with this so please keep it up!
Maths: We are moving on well through fractions and decimals and are now applying our understanding of multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 to include decimal numbers.
Times tables: The National Times Table test will be carried out over the week with small groups of children at a time. We have done lots of practice so this will be a very familiar routine.
Keep going with the Maths Frame Multiplication Check to help build their confidence and fluency. 25 questions with a 6 second gap between each one can be tricky and the more they practise, the more confident they will be.
