Yr 4 11th February Looking Back and Forth
Friday 11th January – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back: This week, the children completed their published pieces for the outsider narrative. They have explored multiplication and division with 2 digit numbers. They learnt about King Alfred and the burning of the cakes. As well as the Doppler effect in sound as well as having lots of fun with string telephones on the playground. The class learnt about Anglo-Saxons runes and deciphered some mysterious messages.
