Friday 9th December – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, the children have rehearsed lots for the carol service, written their scene setting paragraphs. Explored area in maths and enjoyed their final P.E. session on gymnastics. The electricity and the Christmas shop were also real highlights for the class this week. We also had a fab time watching the infant nativity!
Questions to ask at home
- What words did you use to create a storm atmosphere?
- What personification, similes or metaphors did you use?
- What is the difference between area and perimeter?
- What is a rectilinear shape?
- What is the difference between a rectangle and an oblong?
