Grade 4's have learnt a new method of doing division.Ask me to tell you about "Partial quotient" method for division.

*Keep practicing times tables at home *

Science:

- We are learning about " Wheels and Levers" .We made a hypothesis about rollers and then did an experiment to see how rollers work. Here are some of our observations after the experiment:

Kemi:The glue stick is even and rolls smoothly.

Mori: The pencil rolls better than the glue stick. More pencils work best as a roller for the pencil box.

Stella: The pencil rolls easily on the floor because there is more mover around space.

Bentley: The glue stick rolls fas and it is smooth to roll the science duo tang.

Sydney: 13 pencil crayons worked really well to roll a thick book.

Aisha: The pencil worked best to roll an eraser.

Amer: 1 pencil crayon was not enough to roll the pencil box.

Aluel: 24 pencils to roll the pencil box and it went well.
