Happy Friday Everyone,

This week in P4S, we have been working hard to learn multiplication facts in both the 4x and 8x tables.  We spotted a link between the answers to these tables and have been doing a lot of counting in 4s and 8s to help us with the answers.  Using these facts, we learned how to complete Multiplication Column Calculations which were really tricky at first but we will keep practising so that they are not so tricky.  We have been asked to practise both the 4x and 8x tables at home too when we have time.

We finished reading our Class Novel (The Hodgeheg by Dick King-Smith) this week and were all so happy with the ending.  Max had been determined from the beginning to find a safe place for his family to cross the road – he refused to give up showing that he had the Growth Mindset attitude which we are all practising this year.  Max was an inspiration to all Hedgehogkind, We wrote brilliantly descriptive Book Reviews – everyone said that they would recommend the novel to a friend and many of us said that they had learned a lot more about Road Safety.

We tried to carry out some research about Benjamin Franklin this week, to help us with our Kite Projects (which are due on 8th December) but the computers had different ideas!!! We persevered and most of us managed a little research before it was time for us to go home that day.

We have been very busy this week so will all be in much need of a rest this weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend Everyone,

from, Miss Steedman
