Yr 4 Looking Back and Forth - Friday 14th October
Friday 30th September– Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, the children have been working incredibly hard preparing their work for the exhibition; biographies have been copied up, mountains have been animated and mountain goddesses have been decorated. All in all a fantastic week!
Questions to ask at home
- What can you tell me about what you are preparing for the exhibition?
- What is the name of the goddesses on Everest?
- What environmental damage is there on Everest? Why?
- What animation software have you been using? (great free app if you are interested, and lots of fun)
Children’s highlights of the week
- Painting the mountain and goddesses
- The animation work
- Maths
- Publishing our Mallory work
- TTRockstars!
- E. Tag rugby with Mr Biggs
Looking forward:
Performance for Year 3 and 4 – Wednesday 19th October at 5pm.
Remember that it is an INSET day on Friday
This week, the children will be adding final touches to the display of work. They will be having a surprise skills session on Thursday afternoon (don’t worry it is a great surprise). We will also be having a look around the exhibition. We have spellings and arithmetic on Wednesday with Mrs Riddell.
Homework in Year 4
Maths– none this week
English – Book Review – preferably a book that we have in our library with a ZPD, so we can use the reviews as recommendations to others.
Reading – daily at least 15 mins – remember to take the Accelerated Reader Quizzes
Rockstars – as much as possible 10 mins daily is ideal – at least once a week for 20 mins
Spellings – Mrs Riddell – Please learn them for the test on Wednesday. It is better to look at them for 5 minutes each day than try to learn them all in one night. The children remember them better learnt over the week.
Could the children please complete their homework in pencil or blue/black pen not felt tip.
Timestables – for Friday All timestables (these were given out on Friday with how many columns the children need to learn.)
(This can be handed it at anytime before Friday, the children know where the plastic wallets are)
