Year 4 Looking Back and Forth Friday 25th March
Friday 25thth March – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
Another super week in Year 4, we had a great time sewing. Thank you to all of the volunteers, who came to help the children. Your help was very much appreciated. This week we began to write our Viking epic saga and explored more about the world of the Vikings with Mrs Cooper. We wrestled fire breathing fractions. Defeated complicated word dragons using dictionaries and we accompanied along the way by Mr Wilkinson, an ex-pupil who came to work with us for a week.
Building On
- Sewing in Year 2
- Fractions from Year 3

This week, the children will continue with their saga stories. We will also continue our work on fractions, adding and subtracting them. The children will be learning more about the Vikings as well as completing their unit test for the science from this term.
Homework in Year 4
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.
Maths– blue maths sheet this week to be handed in on Thursday
English – Blue Vikings comprehension
Could the children please complete their homework in pencil or blue/black pen not felt tip.
Timestables – for Friday All timestables - x11 x6x12x13 – these will be muddled up this week.
