Southwark News Week beginning 19th November 2018
What are we learning this week
Maths – This week, we will be multiply and dividing by 10 and 100 and understanding that this is the same as a number getting 10 and 100 times bigger or smaller and not just adding or taking away a 0 or 00 to a number. This is essential understanding for our upcoming work on decimals. Children have been given a username and password stuck in their homework diaries 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.
Children have been using the following game in class to revise their mental subtraction.

Topic – We will be returning to our topic-Anglo-Saxons and Vikings looking at religion and beliefs in this period.
I.C.T-We will be continuing to develop our PowerPoint presentation skills by including animation between slides.
Congratulations go to team Fireworks with an amazing 250 marbles this week and to Solly, Junaid and Daisy who all received merits this week. Evie is our reader of the week, well done!
