This Week in Cumbria

Week beginning Monday 18th May.

What a busy week we have had for our last week of Term 5. 

In Maths, we have been looking at money and how to estimate, calculate and solve problems involving money. It would be helpful over the half term holiday to try to practise some of these skills when possible. Similarly, in preparation for our unit on time next term, talking about seconds, minutes, hours as well as days, weeks and months would be useful. For example, how long will it take to get to where we are going? How long will we be there? How long until we go on holiday?

We have continued to enjoy reading The Wild Robot in class. We read a chapter about Roz's experiences of winter and used this as inspiration to write poetry. Our narrative writing has been really impressive showing off our descriptive and emotive language. 

Science Week has been really interesting and we have been fascinated by the talks we have had by some of the parent speakers. We took part in an experiment with balloon rockets, thinking about whether the amount of air in a balloon made a difference to how far and fast the balloon travelled. 

The Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check will take place early on in Term 6. Please keep practising these over half term using https://ttrockstars.com/ and https://www.timestables.co.uk/ or by asking your children questions on a long car journey! 

Please also refer to the TTRS heat maps what were recently sent home. These will show which multiplications your child needs to practise. 

Have a lovely, restful half term!
