Dear G4 Parents,
Here is some information about our learning for the week beginning 10th May.
Maths
- Revise for the end of Unit 7 Assessment. Areas which we have covered are: Find fractions of sets, Find fractional parts of polygonal regions, Add and subtract mixed number fractions, Identify equivalent fractions, Order sets of fractions, Find the whole or The One for given fractions, Compare and predict results from an experiment, Review basic ideas of probability.
- Begin Unit 8 - Measure and add distances; Find the median and other landmarks of a set of measurements; Find the perimeter of triangles.
Language
- Reading: Students will work in groups on the guided reading timetable. Students will be either working guided with a teacher, working on spellings, completing an independent reading activity or independently reading. Students will also look at introductions about countries and answer comprehension questions connected. Students will also read texts and review them showing an understanding of character, plot and sharing their opinions with supporting reasoning.
-Writing: Use grammar focus work of complex and compound sentences in written work; Write an introduction about the G4 created country, summarising the main features; Write in detail about focus areas of the G4 created countries; Collate individually created information to create a Guide Book for the G4 class country.
-Spelling: Spellings will be tested and new spellings will be handed out on Sunday.
Unit of Inquiry
- Learn about different types of Government; Consider the organisation of different Governments; Share opinions connected to positive and negative aspects of differing Governments.
- Being work on the Unit 5 Summative Assessment...Each G4 class will create a new and imaginary country. The students will be placed into committees to develop each aspect of the new country drawing on the Unit's Central Idea: Language reflects social and cultural context. The groups will begin preparing for the 'vacation day' in the following week where each class will visit each other's country.
Dates to note:
