Today you have a Fractions assessment to complete. As last time, I would like you to send me your mark please and let me know how you found it. What do you still need to practise with fractions?

Then underneath is my video showing you how I worked them out so you can watch this with your ‘purple pen’ in your hand - ready to correct any errors - make sure you understand where you went wrong.

Today, I would like you to write another limerick. This time it could be about anything of your choice. It could be about you! It could be about a brother or sister (as long as it is kind!!) It could be about a pet, a book character, your favourite food, a star wars character, the weather, lockdown, a learning character, your favourite animal…

I have set it on Purple Mash again and this time I have done more than one page in case you are really inspired and want to write lots. Here is one about my favourite animals - I can’t stop thinking in limericks now!!!!!

My favourite animal is a hummingbird,

Next a pufferfish, then owl coming third.

I do like a seahorse,

And cats of course.

Jinxy cat heard that and just purred!

Heehee!

Well - are you ready for the final chapter? Lets see what happens.. Who will triumph at the Firework competition? Will Lalchand have to be killed? Will Lila become a firework maker?

I have put the last chapter below. (I was tempted to read it to you so I could put on my silly Italian voice for Signor Scorchini but I changed my mind!)

I would like YOU to read this together with an adult - maybe take in turns to read. Read actively - picture the beautiful scenes on display. The names of the firework makers are very funny!

  1. Take an accelerated reader quiz on this book - click on the how to help your child link to get straight to our ‘Accelerated Reader Quizzes’ page.

2. You also have a book review to do some time over the next week - in Purple mash.

Maybe consider which book YOU would like to read next. How about reading some more Phillip Pullman? How could you begin to challenge yourself with your choices of books so that you are reading books with vivid language and marvellous characters like this?

Maths

Today we will be finding fractions of quantities/amounts. This will need a lot of focus, effort and practice. You can do it Year 4! Grow your brain.
