Language Arts Homework March 5th

Prefixes Please!
This week we have been looking at prefixes such as re, pre, un, and dis. We learned that prefixes add to the meaning of a word. Re means to do something again and pre means to do something ahead of time.
This week for homework you must brainstorm words (from your own ideas and in the dictionary) into two lists of words that begin with bi and with tri. When you have done this you must then look at the words and the definitions and decide what bi and tri add to a word and write it under your two lists.

This homework is due FRIDAY MARCH 5TH.

Symmetry Website

I have now added a really great website all about symmetry to our blog. It is called 'symmetry' and you will find it in the shape, space and measures section.

Take a look at the page about symmetry found in buildings - we'll be doing more about this in class. I also really liked the nature section - so many beautiful photos!

Enjoy :)

4LB Assembly

What a great assembly 4LB! I was incredibly proud, not only of your performance, but of the teamwork and commitment you showed when writing and practising your assembly. You are all showing yourselves to be more responsible learners - well done!

A BIG thank you also to parents for coming along and supporting your child - we know it's not always easy to be there but it meant a lot to all of us - thank you!

Photos for 4LB's assembly will also be uploaded shortly.
