Listen to Alice's morning message:
HAPPY Friday year 4s!  Which traffic light colour are you feeling this morning? Red, yellow or green? Or, a mixture of all three colours?  Here's a joke to start our day:  Why are ghosts terrible liars?  Because you can see right through them!  Thank you Atiya for sharing your joke with us. Remember, we are just a click away and would love to hear from you or read your amazing work. Email us at: year4@bgfjs.org (but remember to include your name otherwise we won’t know who it’s from!).
 
A HUGE thank you to all for putting in so much effort into learning and for sending in your amazing learning.  We know it must be challenging and we are so very proud of you all.  Thank you wonderful mums and dads, carers and guardians for supporting the children with their learning.
 
Here’s a story about friends not being able to give each other hugs.  Find out what they do instead…
While we can’t hug by author Eoin McLaughlin and illustrator Polly Dunbar
Let’s take a look at today’s timetable:

Today, we are learning to divide by 10.

Remember:
  • When you divide by 1 the answer stays the same. Example, 21 ÷ 1 = 21
  • When you divide by 10, the number becomes 10 times smaller and all the digits move one place to the right.  Example, 210 ÷ 10 = 21.  Another way of thinking of it is: how many 10s are there hiding in a number?

210 ÷ 10 = 21
Watch this video to see how to divide by 10.

Definition of the word algorithm
Today, we are writing algorithms for Code Studio: Minecraft Voyage Aquatic.  Click on the image to watch the video first before working through the different stages of the game.  Remember to also use the ‘repeat command’ if you are using the same command more than once.  This saves time and work space.
