Humber Class What’s Happening This Week Commencing 11th December 2017

Team Humber –  What’s Happening This Week

(Week Commencing 11th December 2017)

In Humber this week we are learning the following:

English:

In English this week we are writing narratives based on a Christmas animation. We are practising using speech in our writing.

SPaG/Phonics:

In spelling, punctuation and grammar we are focussing on using a range of punctuation in our work, including commas, semicolons and exclamation marks.

Maths:

In maths we are focusing on multiplying and dividing fractions, and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers.  

Maths Basics:

Maths basics  are key skills/facts children need to know.  In maths basics this week we are focusing on decimal – fraction – percentage equivalents. Test your child to see how many they know!

Creative Curriculum:

In creative curriculum this week we are focussing on our enterprise project for the Christmas fair.

Homework:

Homework is set every night.  From Monday to Thursday children will have:

• A short maths sheet
• Reading for 10 minutes (+ one more reading over the weekend)
• A couple of sentences to write to summarise what they have read.

Spellings are learnt in class but if you could help with practising at home, this would be brilliant. This week we are recapping some of the Year 3 and 4 words which we find tricky.

Knowing times tables and number bond (pairs of numbers to 10/20 and beyond) well helps children make massive progress in maths so any help you can give your child will be great.  Your child has a Number Gym log in and password in their planners and if they could go on Number Gym at home, even for 5 minutes, it will really help them have a secure knowledge and faster recall of times tables and number facts.
