Year 4 Looking Back and Forth 9th July
Friday 9th July – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, has been a great week. The children have worked so hard on their story writing. Showing such focus on their work and maturity, I feel confident in their transition to Year 5. This week, we had a soggy sports day. The children were so amazing, encouraging one another and having fun despite the weather. We learnt more about angles, triangles and quadrilaterals. Ending the week with Bikeability. The instructors commented on how well behaved the children were as well as how attentive they had been. I was very proud.
Questions to ask at home
- What is an acute angle?
- What is an obtuse angle?
- What is a quadrilateral?
- What is a parallelogram?
- What is a rhombus?
- What is a trapezium?
- What did the Vikings do on Holy island?
- What were the signs (portents of doom) seen by the monks before the Vikings arrived?
- Where can you find this evidence about the raid?
- Why do the Vikings always come across as nasty and savage?
If your child can write the answers to these on a piece of paper and bring them to me this week.
10 Housepoints!
