Election Day 2024
Good morning Year 4. Today is an important day across Britain, as adults across the country will be able to vote for who they think should be the nation's Prime Minister. During Parliament Week, we discussed the importance of democracy and how the government works. Watch this Newsround special on why democracy is an important part of British society.
Maths
Yesterday, we discovered that numbers below zero are called negative numbers. We used number lines to count backwards and forwards through the number zero. Watch the video, then have a go at the assignments on Doodle Maths.
English
In English, we have been learning about the different word classes. We are confident with nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and pronouns. Today, we would like you to find out what a determiner is and how it is used. Top tip-find the nouns first!
Watch MC Grammar and the following video, then please complete your Doodle assignments.
Have a wonderful day, we look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.
Take care,
love Miss F, Miss S and Mrs D
