We have been learning a range of subtraction strategies over the past few weeks. To show off your learning I want you to:

1.write a subtraction word problem as a comment to this post.
Think carefully about what strategy you want people to use when they answer it.

2. Answer someone else's subtraction problem as a reply to their post- write next to your answer which number strategy you used.

Subtraction strategies:

-Subtracting ones and tens
-Subtracting in parts
-Jumping the number line
-Don't subtract-add!
-Subtracting a tidy number then adding back on

Here is our example of a cooking show. It didn't take us long to make and edit and was heaps of fun. Miss Hopkins even added a blooper reel to the end!

Year 4 Menu and Cooking Show assignment
Due Monday 7th April

To show our learning from the term we are designing healthy menus that incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables. We are going to use the drama skills that we have been developing to create a film that shows our learning.

 1. Design a menu with starter, main and desert.

Describe each dish on your menu using interesting vocabulary that will entice your diners to choose that dish.

Each dish must have at least one seasonal fruit or vegetable in it. We will write this in class.

 2. Choose one dish off your menu to cook in your 'cooking show'.

You will film yourself making the dish in the style of a cooking show. You must edit your film ready to share with the class. Parents can assist with this.

You may work with a buddy to create the cooking show but you both must appear in the film.

3. We will celebrate our learning with an in-class film festival and shared lunch where parents are invited to come watch the films.

  Success Criteria For your film

-Present with a clear, confident voice

-Face the camera while presenting

-Whatever you are filming needs to be the centre of the shot. Frame your shot carefully.

-Use appropriate language while presenting (such as the interesting adjectives we have used in writing)

- Use a range of camera shots including an extreme close up of your seasonal food
- Clearly show and explain the steps needed to create your dish
- Give some information about your dish, why you chose it and the ingredients you chose
-Edit your show so that it is succinct and interesting.
-You may want to add text over the footage to list your ingredients or steps.
