Year 4 Looking Back and Forth - Friday 15th November 2024
Friday 15th November – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, the class have worked on addition and subtraction with and without exchanges (borrowing if you are old skool). In English, we have been drilling down into our new book Leaf by Sandra Deickmann, exploring the vocabulary and the mood of the story.
Questions to ask at home -
- What does the word shunned mean?
- What does the word rifled mean?
- What did you learn in your Micro:bits session?
Looking forward:
This week, there are lots of fantastic opportunities to work outside with forest school on Monday afternoon and hedge planting on Tuesday afternoon. The children will also continue with their work on Micro:bits with the students from HCCS on Wednesday afternoon.
Homework in Year 4
Blue Sheet - English – GAPS mat /Maths Exercise 5
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 – we will begin x5 x3 x6 x12 final week
(Homework can be handed it at anytime before Friday, the children know where the basket is)
Reminders for this week – Please check the weekly Newsletter for more detail
