Year 4 Looking Back and Forth Friday 11th November
Friday 11th November – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, worked super hard on the water cycle; exploring the elements of this in science, as well as writing an explanatory text on it too. We have started to look at addition of 4 digit numbers and will go onto subtraction next week.
Questions to ask at home
- What does evaporation mean?
- What does condensation mean?
- What does accumulation mean?
- What does transpiration mean?
- What does precipitation mean?
Children’s highlights of the week
- TTRockstars
- E. Gymnastics with Mr Biggs
- Writing about the water cycle
- Maths lessons
- Having a maths morning
- Learning about condensation in science
Looking forward:
The children will publish their science explanatory writing about the water cycle. They will be beginning a new unit of work in English. The book will be a mystery this week. Although, the children will learn snippets of information about it. They will be pulling all of their work together on mountains, in a double page spread. As well as learning about keeping passwords safe in their e-safety lesson.
