Friday 17th June – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4

Looking forward:
This week, the children will be looking at the characters in the new book in English. Complete their work on decimals, after a particularly long unit of work. Begin to create dioramas of mountain ranges, begin to add animation to them. They will also be learning more about George Mallory (who one of the school houses is named after).
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
