4D's Marvellous Assembly!

I just had to post my comments about your WONDERFUL assembly today! I was so impressed by your confidence and enthusiasm - it made watching you all an absolute joy!
I also thought you made excellent role models for your younger (and older!) peers at school - what great organisation skills you have now 4D!
You should all be very proud of yourselves - I cannot wait for the next one :)
Well done!
A very happy, and proud, Miss Bodfish

Language Homework

This week in Language Arts we are focusing on making notes into paragraphs (what we have been doing for our Peacemaker reports). The students have been given a list of 7 notes on Princess Diana. It is their job to number the order of the notes (1 would be the note they would use first in the paragraph and 7 would be the note used last) and then put them into full sentences, creating a paragraph. They must remember to indent their paragraph and double space their writing (write a line, skip a line, etc). This exercise will lend itself well to the stories that we will soon be writing in class.

Due Friday January 29

4D's Assembly!!!

This Friday Fantastic 4D has their assembly! We are going to be talking about our current unit 'Peace Begins with Me', so please come on out and learn what we have been studying and how to be a good problem solver! 4D must practice their lyrics for our song. The lyrics are below!

Problem Solving Song


We will we will solve it!
You can you can do it!

Sometimes we have conflicts on the yard
But you can fix the problem
It’s not hard.

You need respect for me
Respect for you
Solving our conflicts
It’s easy to do.

Because
We are mediators!
You are mediators!

This child wants the ball, but so does she
They need a mediator
To help, you see

One person speaks first,
The other goes next,
Taking turns speaking is always the best.

Because we will we will solve it!
You can you can do it!

If you’re a mediator, what should you do?
Promise not to take sides
Or gossip too.

Always respect
Never place blame
Focus on the problem
Our goal is the same.

Because we will we will solve it!
You can you can do it!

Because
WE ARE MEDIATORS!!!
YOU ARE MEDIATORS!!!

Maths for the week beginning Monday 25th January

This week we will continue working with 2D shapes. We are so happy with the knowledge the classes have demonstrated about different shapes now - lots of children will be able to tell you facts about shapes from the quadrilateral family. You will also notice some super shape vocabulary being used - look out for words such as parallel, vertices and polygon!

We will continue by looking at the different shapes that are made when you combine different 2D shapes and we will also be exploring tesselation - watch out for some exciting artwork soon!

In number we will continue to look at division and will focus on the use of halving when dividing by 4 and 8. We will also see how multiplication is used to check answers.

As you can see we will be working hard on lots of maths this week!

Maths Homework - due Friday 29th January
Complete pages 18 and 19 in your new textbooks to help you revise your times tables. Please remember to bring your maths textbook everyday in case we use it in class. Thank you.
