Yr 4 Looking Back and Forth Friday 18th October
Friday 18th October – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, the children have been making their final preparations for the Exhibition. They have had such positive attitudes, we are really excited to share with families, our learning journey so far.
This week the children completed their Sherpa fact files, the unsung heroes of the mountains. In maths, we looked at arithmetic skills, looked at cheats with the x12 and explored rounding in more detail.
Questions to ask at home -
- What do you look at when rounding to the nearest 10?
- What do you look at when rounding to the nearest 100?
- What do you look at when rounding to the nearest 1000?
- Tell me some facts about Sherpas?
- What songs have you been learning for the Exhibition?
- What is the cheat for the x12?
Children’s highlights of the week
- Painting the sheets of paper for the Mega Mountain!
- Drawing places that were important in George Mallory’s life
- Drawing Mehndi patterns in R.E.
- Maths and looking at rounding
- PE- Dodgeball
- TTRockstars
Looking forward:
This week, the children will be viewing the Exhibition, meeting Mr Saleem from the Mosque in Levenshulme, Exploring Ramadan, testing their knowledge on states of matter and mountains!
