No spellings this week

All Year 3/4 spellings have been covered.
In the New Year, children will start to have different spellings. Some children are ready to move on to the Year 5/6 spellings but others need to secure these words and will repeat the Year 3/4 words.

Any queries please contact your class teacher.

Homework due 19th December

Read at least 3 times (per week) and ask an adult to sign your reading diary to confirm.

Complete the times table grid over the few evenings.

Complete the ordering fractions task – Questions 1-12 only ***/**

Complete the equivalent fractions activity *

Fractions help:

***/** Finding fractions halfway between fractions

If I have two numbers like 4 and 10, I can find a number right in the
middle of them by adding the numbers and dividing the sum by 2:

4 + 10 14
—— = — = 7
2 2

It works with fractions, too! (In fact, it works with _any_ numbers.)

So to find a fraction halfway between 1/3 and 1/2,

1/3 + 1/2 2/6 + 3/6 5/6
——— = ——— = — = 5/12
2 2 2

Only one week to go!!
