Happy Thursday! What a week, Turbo tables, Newspaper reports and Anglo-Saxon Villages! This week, we have continued our work on Fractions in Maths and have been working on our final writes based on our text The Baker by the Sea English. On Tuesday, we visited Escot Wildwood and the weather was far nicer than it is today! The children had a real taste of Anglo-Saxon life (see photos). On Wednesday, we did some Turbo Tables practice, working on the 6,7 and 8 times tables, through song and revising the tables and related division facts. After the Easter break, we will start a new text in English, complete our unit on fractions in Maths and start new learning areas in Science and History. We will continue practising our Times Tables, please see the links below and on Dojo, for the expectations on these and please practise during the holiday. In terms of home learning, can I remind everybody that the expectation is that children read for at least 10 minutes at home everyday, this can be magazines, newspapers, manuals, cookery books, as well as their reading books, as it is all reading. I would also like children to spend time working on their times tables, which are vital in so many areas of the Maths curriculum, I have set them 25 minutes worth of TTRS time as home learning. This can be done as a block, or it can be spread across the week, so that the children do 5 minutes a day. I have been really pleased to give out lots of Dojo points to people who have been completing their time! I recommended some apps and websites to help with Maths as the Year 4s have a Multiplication Tables Check to do in June: One Minute Maths by White Rose Maths Ten Minute Tables by Dorling Kindersley URBrainy.comMTC for a practise version of the check. White Rose Maths Parent booklets which you can reach through the Maths page of our school website or here: https://whiteroseeducation.com/parent-pupil-resources/maths/free-downloads Spellings will be out on Monday for the test on Friday. There will be a new TTRS sheet on Monday, some great scores this week in our Soundcheck, so keep practising. With this in mind, try watching the following on Youtube to help learn those vital tables: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p16Szjg59Sg&t=3s Please see Dojo for photographs. Have an eggcelent Easter, see you on Monday15th April. Mr F Happy Friday!
