Please find an update about what we will be learning in Millennium this week;

English- We will be finishing our unit of work surrounding instruction and explanation texts. We will explore these using art and will even learn how to draw Horrid Henry! This gives us a chance to practise imperative verbs and prepositional phrases in our writing. This week we will be continuing our explanations about how to draw Horrid Henry and editing our final drafts. Check out the video below if you would like to have a go yourself.

Reading- All children should be reading at home every day and handing their record books in each day to be checked. They will be reading in guided groups with an adult at least once each week.

Maths- We are working on multiplication and division. We will be moving on to dividing by 10 and 100.

In addition to this, all children need to be practising the multiplication tables as one of the Year 4 objectives is know the tables and related division facts to 12×12. There will be a weekly test in class.

There is a free interactive game we use often in class as a starter which children can also access at home. Please find the link below;
