Our grammar focus will be expanded noun phrases and using a variety of conjunctions to join sentences.

Maths-We will be completing our statistics work with a focus on the upcoming World Cup and then moving on to refining our written multiplication and division methods. A quick reminder that knowing all the multiplication and division facts to 12×12 is a requirement for year 4 and children who are successful at this practice for short periods at home several times a week alongside their daily Maths lessons. I recommend using the website with games and quizzes below:
