Year 4 - coasts, decimals and possessive apostrophes!
Year 4 made a super start to the summer term after their Easter break. In geography, we have started our topic on Coasts by looking at lots of pictures of different coastal features, asking questions and labelling pictures with our new vocabulary.
In maths, we have been working on tenths and hundredths in our decimal work, and recognising the equivalence with our fractions knowledge: 1/10 = 0.1 = 0.10 = 1 out of 10 = 10 out of 100. We have been multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 using the place value sliders to help us.
In English, we have been working on our neat, joined up handwriting and spelling contractions. We have also been tackling the tricky subject of apostrophes for possession using singular and plural nouns: Dave's coat (singular), all the birds' nests (plural).
Well done for a great start back :-)
