This week has been our Purple Learning week. We have thought about our goals for the rest of our time in Year 4 and we know our steps to success. We have also been reflecting on the year and we all made a reflection tetrahedron!
In English this week, we finished off our non-chronological reports about the bubbles on Myst. We had some great ideas about what the bubbles could have been used for and where they might be found. This week we have also been looking at recounts. We imagined that we had walked around the beach and the caves on Myst, and we have been writing descriptive recounts of the adventure.
In Maths, we have been working on multiplication. We have learnt that multiplication is commutative so 5 x 9 is the same as 9 x 5. We have also been looking at how we can use doubling to help us learn our times tables. So if we know that 3 x 4 = 12, we can work out that 3 x 8 = 24. Later in the week we started to look at division and how this can be represented pictorially.
On Wednesday we had a great afternoon cooking with seasonal foods.
