Class 4 have had yet another busy week, from instruction writing to reflective materials, from division to life in Ancient Egypt and from animation to Egyptian dance. The week has had it all!
The Secrets of a Sun King
I must give a special mention our guided reading text. The children are absolutely loving our class text ‘The Secrets of a Sun King’. When the whole class groaned when I said we needed to stop reading on both Wednesday and Thursday, I knew I had made the correct text choice. I really hope you continue to love the story and all its twists, turns and mysteries!
Division
This week both Year 4 and Year 5 have been working using bus stop method to calculate division problems. This method really relies on the children knowing and using their times table facts. Watch the following video to see the method.
Homework
For homework please spend some time practicing your times tables and the related division facts. The following websites contain some fun games and everyone also has a list of QR codes in their reading logs.

I have also set a boys vs girls battle on times tables rockstars – it will run until 9am on the Monday after the half term holidays – I wonder if the girls will win again!!
