Kahoot Revision
Dear Parents,
As some of you might have heard we had some revision sessions using kahoot. For those of you who are not familiar with this app, Kahoot is a very good tool to use in the classroom to help learners revise in a fun and interactive way. You can easily download kahoot at home on any laptop.
Create a log in account for your children and in the search engine type in missedwina. A list of quizzes will come up and you can choose the appropriate one. Moreover you can search for other ready made quizzes or better create one yourself.
For Maths, I found some ready ones which were very good. Just type in Maths problem solving or a key word such as fractions and then select a suitable one for your child.
All you need to do is ask your child to scan the lesson on their tablet and enter Kahoot. Enjoy playing and revising a number of topics discussed this year 🙂
Regards
Ms Edwina

Please make sure that students have the following in their pencil case during exams.

They allowed to keep their water bottle next to their desk and a reading book is also allowed for both Science and Maths.
Thank you for your kind attention.

Maths – Junior 4s
Dear Parents,
I have NOT given any homework today as we worked very hard in class on different challenges. I am attaching the worksheets here. Please feel free to download and print them. I am attaching them in word format so if you’d like you can edit the papers and give them different numbers to work out. Please note that the paper is very close to what I have attached here. This should make it easier for our young ones as they familiarise themselves with the way the paper looks 🙂
Feel free to send any handouts for correction.

Maths – Division
Dear Parents,
I am aware that some of you have queries about division. The only exercise that has some sort of division is the following:
2/6 of 24 =
I know they have already covered this with previous teachers however some students still find difficulty on how to work it. I have given them this explanation and sharing it with you to help them practice at home. (Mind you, you can use any method you like, this is just a helping hand for the ones who can’t seem to get it.
Explanation:
So, first we draw a boat.
/________
The denominator (in this case the 6) is the captain of the boat so he sits in front.
6/________
The passengers sit inside the boat.
6/___24____
Using their tables they figure out that that 4 is the answer.
They go back to the equation. Cross of the 6 and cross off the 24 and write 4.
The of changes into X and they work out a normal multiplication 2 X 4 = 8
They seem to have understood the method and enjoy creating the boat idea so feel free to use this. At this stage, we shall only use division here this year. No other exercises will have any division, long division or long multiplication.
Regards
Ms. Edwina
Maths – Junior 4
Dear Parents,
It has been brought to my attention that some of the extra work papers posted online have long multiplication. Please ignore these as the student won’t be having long multiplication this year. Some handouts are a mixture of different topics so please ignore anything that is not on the study list.
Please feel free to contact me should you need any more clarifications.
Regards
Ms. Edwina
Maths – Junior 4s
Dear Parents,
I trust that this post finds you well. I am sure you are at that stage were anxiety and stress levels are at their peak because of your child/children exams approaching. Don’t stress… a little bit of revision everyday will surely help your little ones. Exams are not the end of the world either, their progress throughout the year is much more important. However, having said that, I’m sure you’ll need some extra handouts and revision sheets to help them revise. I am attaching a number of resources you might find handy.
