Yr 4 Looking Back and Forth - Friday 29th September 2023
Friday 29th September– Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, we started our research about bees. We learnt how important they are and the different parts of their bodies. We also learnt about what was the largest and smallest bees in the world! In maths, we learnt more about partitioning numbers up to 10,000.
Questions to ask at home -
- What does partitioning mean?
- What is three sections of a bee called?
- Why are bees so important to our survival?
- Where does the smallest and largest bees come from?
- Can you remember the names of the largest and smallest bees?
- How big were they?
Children’s highlights of the week
- My Happy Mind
- Learning about the parts of a bee
- Creating a double page spread for science

- Learning all about bees
Looking forward:
This next week, the children will be finishing their double page spreads. Learning about mountain climates in geography. Exploring databases in science and the naming prayer.
