Year 4 - Looking Back and Forth - Friday 2oth September
Friday 20th September – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, the children have looked at what the features are of a biography. We have also started to look at George Mallory, the mountain climbing hero that one of the school houses is named after. In grammar, we looked a fronted-adverbials. In maths, we have been looking at numbers to 10,000 in place value.
Questions to ask at home -
- Who is George Mallory?
- What do you know about him already?
- Where was he born?
- What is a fronted adverbial?
- What can you tell me about the Himalayas?
- What type of mountains are the Himalayas?
Looking forward:
This week, the children will be exploring a timeline of George Mallory’s life and his expeditions. In R.E. the class will look at prayer in the Muslim faith. In computing, they will be working on repeating patterns.
