Y4 Looking Back and Forth - Friday 29th November 2024
Friday 29th November – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, the children have written 4 paragraphs of their outsider narrative. We decided to use an Arctic Fox as our main character. The children have use truly impressive vocabulary. It has been very enjoyable reading their stories. In maths, we have begun to look at area.
Questions to ask at home -
- What is area?
- What is the ‘cheat’ for the 9 times table?
- What is a preposition?
- What is a pronoun?
Children’s highlights of the week
- Writing our outsider story
- Working on maths in particular area
- The lovely food at lunchtime
- TTRockstars
Looking forward:
This week, the class will be learning all about Anglo-Saxon clothing. There will be practises for the Carol Service and we will start to learn about Arctic foxes in English.
Homework in Year 4
Pink Sheet – GAPS mat and prepositions /Maths Unit 6
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.
Times tables – we will begin new times tables this week -
(Homework can be handed it at any time before Friday, the children know where the basket is)
