Our Learning

By Tess, Maher, and Jaida, 4C

Maths

Year 4 have loved learning all about fractions! We did all sorts of fun activities such as fractions walls, buzz, 21, challenging tasks, and worded problems. We also explored equivalent fractions, adding fractions, mixed fractions, decimals, and improper fractions. 

Our favourite lesson was making our Fraction Walls because we loved experimenting with the folding. We both managed to make tenths, twelfths and sixteenths!

Writing 

We have been focusing on the Writer's Workshop and looking back at the process of unpacking a seed, planning, drafting, and publishing. We have been working really hard on our beginning and endings in narratives to keep readers hooked. 

Here are some wonderful examples:
