We're learning to subtract fractions!
We're learning to add fractions!
Welcome to your new Topic
weheartit.com
We're learning about equivalent fractions!
So...this suitcase arrived on my doorstep! We've decided to write our 500 word stories based on it and its contents! Where is it from? Who is Reginald Frederick Spence? Where is he now? We have so many questions!
We've been busy making an interactive digestive system in 4S! Can you tell what each part is?
January 10th 2019 - Today we used disclosing tablets to see how well we brush our teeth! The top photos show our teeth before using the tablet, the left photo shows our teeth after chewing a tablet (red is new plaque and purple is old plaque), then the right picture shows our teeth after we've brushed them! Who needs to BRUSH UP on their teeth cleaning skills?!
Burps, Bottoms and Bile! This spring half term you’re going to be learning all about your digestive system and what happens to your food inside your body! You’ll learn how to care for your teeth properly and how to keep yourself healthy too!
Welcome back 4S! I hope you’ve had a wonderful time with friends and family and that you’re ready to start our next exciting topic!
Next week in Maths we are learning to:
Divide and times by 7
(primaryteaching services)
We’re getting ready to trade! Today we learned to make shields and how to strengthen them!
We’ve been following in our Saxon ancestor’s footsteps today by weaving card to make patterns and baskets!
Next week in Maths we will be learning:

(primaryteachingservices)
We're writing our own legends of King Arthur this week! See if you can retell this simple story to your adults at home!
In Maths next week:
We are learning to multiply by 0 and 1.
1x1=1
1x2=2
1x3=3
(when you multiply a number by one, it's always the same as the number you started with)
1x0= 0
2x0 = 0
3x0 = 0
(when you multiply a number by 0, the answer will always be 0)
We've been learning about myths and legends in English this week.
In 4S we know all about King Arthur and have been performing drama to tell the story of the quest for the Holy Grail.

We’ve been learning how to improve our sketching techniques in art today! We practiced cross-hatching and shading to add detail to our Anglo-Saxon houses.
We're learning to times by 10, 100 and 1000 this week. Next week we're dividing by 10,100 and 1000 so get practicing! Use the chart below to help you work out these sums:
23 51 124 456 5764 1.2 5.8 9.7 15.3 19.4
now times them by 10, 100 and then 1000!
Now divide them by 10, 100 and 1000!
Great maths teaching ideas:
We're loving our musical instruments in 4S! We're experiencing the trombone and trumpet!
This was so much fun! We even made potions to look like brains!
We conducted a science investigation by putting eggs in different substances - can you guess what turned our egg bouncy?
We've been problem solving today! Can you solve it too?
Well done 4S! First place as well! Keep up the hard work!
Science is so much fun! We learned about viscosity today; using different liquids to test our predictions!
