Good morning Year 4,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunny weather. Thank you for all your work yesterday. I can see that you are all trying very hard. If I think you might like another go at the Purple Mash activities, I will reset the task. If you don't want to do it again that's fine don't worry. I have also been awarding online prizes on Purple Mash. Have you got any yet? 

I appreciate that having to do all the work at home outside the classroom can be a little tricky at times, but please be assured that I am very impressed and proud of you all. I can see that you are trying hard to make sure that you are ready for year 5. Thank you for the photos which some of you are sending in, I will continue to put a small selection onto the website page. Any work you do into your books, I will look at properly when we are back at school.

If you have any problems with a task then either email in for extra help or leave it and make a note. When we get back to school we can have another look.

I have had a look at your book allocations again today and updated them. Some of you are doing lots of reading which is amazing.

Thank you again to all of you and of course to your parents.

Take care.

Monday 20.4.20

Good morning Year 4.

I hope you all had a lovely break and enjoyed the Easter activities. I have been thinking about you all a lot over the past few weeks and I am looking forward to seeing you all again when life gets back to normal. I am still very impressed by your work and I enjoy receiving your comments on Purple Mash. I have put some of your work onto the Sharing board on Purple Mash so that you can take a look at each others work. 

This week will be slightly different as some work will be going into your writing books. I am very much looking forward to getting these books back later in the term so that I can take a look. 

With the tasks this week you will have to look carefully at the powerpoints and watch the videos to guide you with your work. There will also be help buttons to open and read to support you further. Please don't worry if you don't understand a task, just try your best.

Please thank your parents for all the help they are giving you to help you access the work and for sending me all the lovely photos.

Take care and stay safe. Keep smiling.

Read up to slide 19 and copy the 'Adding Fractions,' worksheets on slide 11 and 18 into your books. Make sure you read the information carefully about, 'improper fractions,' and 'mixed numbers.'

An improper fraction is simply a fraction where the numerator is bigger than the denominator.
