Yr 4 Looking Back and Forth - 2.2.24

Friday 2nd February – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4

Looking back:

This week, has been a great week in class. The children have completed their own versions of a scene setting, with our brave characters venturing into a storm to find out if the elusive whale is just a myth! In maths, the children have worked on factor pairs and the products. It has been wonderful to see the confidence the children have approached these tasks with.

Questions to ask at home -

· What is a factor pair?

· What is a product?

· What is a factor pair rainbow?

· What is a factor pair rainbow for 24?

· How do you make a switch?

· What did you learn in e-safety this week?

Children’s highlights of the week

· E-safety

· Working on rainbow factor pairs

· Reading my book

· Maths puzzles in extension work

· Scene setting writing

· Electricity – making a switch

· Drawing circuits in electricity

Looking forward:

This next week, the children will be looking at conductors of electricity in science. The Young Voices choir will be out on Monday afternoon. In history, the class will be looking at the clothing that was worn in Anglo-Saxon times and the natural dyes that were used. In R.E. the class will be looking at Passover in Judiasm.
