Year 4 - Friday 28th February - Looking Back and Forth
Friday 28th February – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week the children have published the rest of their Viking sagas. These super stories will be put into their topic books. The class were introduced to a new text in English. The actual story hasn’t been revealed yet, but the illustrations are amazing!
In maths, the class were learning different methods for multiplying 2 and 3 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We had aliens with Kneecaps as well as the more formal methods!
Questions to ask at home -
- Can you remember what a metaphor, simile and hyperbole is?
- What is personification?
- What is a factor and a product in maths?
- What can you tell me about the new book you are looking at in class?
- Show me two methods for multiplication you know?
