Southwark News Week Beginning 12th November 2018

 

A great big thank you to Zoe Henry  from the Theatre Bug Dance Company who taught an exciting street dance class with year 4 on Friday.

What are we learning this week

Maths – This week, we will be learning to multiply by 10 and 100 and understanding that this is the same as a number getting 10 and 100 times bigger and not just adding a 0 or 00 to a number. This is essential understanding for our upcoming work on decimals. Children will be given a username and password to a new free maths programme we will be trialling  to support your child’s knowledge and understanding of the key year 4 objective-multiplication and division facts to 12×12 this week called J2blast.

English –This week we will be completing our written explanation texts-How to Draw Horrid Henry by writing a conclusion and self and peer assessing. We will then be amending our writing according to the feedback.

Topic – We will be completing our topic of Remembrance this week by writing poems to reflect our understanding of how children were affected by WWI.

I.C.T-We will be continuing to develop our PowerPoint presentation skills by including animation and transition between slides.

 

Important information

We will be watching Goosebumps at Grants cinema on Wednesday as part of Croydon INTO festival. 

Due to unforeseen circumstances Friday’s additional cinema trip has been cancelled. A letter will be going out to explain further.
