Y4 Friday 10th May - Looking Back and Forth
Friday 10th May 2019 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
The children this week continued with the unit of work on ‘Narrative with an element of fantasy’, the Butterfly Lion. We finished reading the story, studying parts of the story as we went along. We also looked at making adverbs from adjectives as well.
In maths we looked at negative numbers and fractions of amounts. The children worked on these concepts well. In the afternoons we completed the end of units assessments for Sound in science as well as finishing our Tudor money purses. Thank you to the parents who came to help with the sewing- your help was very much appreciated.
Year 4 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- The Butterfly Lion work
- 5 minutes reading
- Premier Sports – javelin throwing
- Tudor money purses

Family discussion questions:
- Can you tell me the story of the Butterfly lion so far?
- What happens at the end of the story?
- What was your favourite part and why?
- Who was your favourite character and why?
- What does sound travel in?
- What was the easiest/trickiest part of making your Tudor money purse?
Looking forward:
This week the children will continue their work on the Butterfly lion – we will be creating our own missing chapter writing.
In maths the children continue to work on fractions of number. In the afternoons, the children this week will evaluate their Tudor money purse designs and begin our topic on Europe.
