We are getting quicker!
4H have been practising how to find words in a dictionary. It has certainly been interesting and the children have really had to grapple with the process of how to do this. As we made great strides of improvement yesterday, I began racing the children to see who could find the stated word the quickest. Methmi and Poppy were not happy that they were only a couple of seconds slower than I was! Maybe next week they will beat me…

We are writers!
We are Getting Smart
Using the dictionaries and thesauruses that Mrs Graves has recently bought for school, we have been able to find synonyms and antonyms without having to ask for help! We feel so proud of ourselves and will get quicker at finding the words the more that we practise.
Thank you Mrs Graves, we love these!

LKS2 Parents Meeting – Times Tables Check
Year 3 and 4 parents are invited to a talk about the National Times Table Check (MTC), set by the government for all pupils in Year 4.
We will explain what the MTC is and how you can support your children in the run up to the check in June.
In the meantime, all Year 4 children are invited to Times Tables Breakfast Booster Sessions on Tuesday Morning, 8:20am.
With thanks

Time to read Tuesdays…
In crew on Tuesdays, we take a reading focus. I can’t think of anything better than finding a good book and getting completely lost in the story which could take you to anywhere in your imagination. This week, we looked at a children’s magazine with a variety of different stories in it. We scanned through the magazine to find something that caught our eye and then explained to each other what our attention was grabbed by and why.

We can explain our thinking to each other
In maths, we have been thinking really carefully about how we approach different styles of mathematical questions. Explaining our thinking to each other has helped us to realise with more accuracy where we have been successful and where we need to make improvements.
Well done everyone and an extra shout out to Alex who has shown so much enthusiasm in Maths since returning to school after the Easter break. I am so proud of you all.

We can listen carefully
Our crew challenge taught us a lot on Monday morning. We had to listen carefully to the instructions our partner gave us and attempt to draw exactly what was described to us. We learnt that the instructions we give must be incredibly specific; not too long; and that they should also be spoken clearly so that our partner can hear us.
Well done to my Magic Breakfast team too – bagels toasted to perfection. Well done and thank you, ladies.
