Y4 Looking Back and Forward - Friday 6th March

🔙 Looking Back – This Week in Year 4

The class have had another hardworking week!

We had a fantastic World Book Day, where the children designed Tom Gates–style book covers and created fantastical creatures inspired by Bunny vs Monkey.

In maths, the children finished their unit on multiplication and division. In English, they explored different scene settings, learned about prepositions and determiners, and completed a comprehension task based on our model text.

The class also enjoyed a great session on TT Rockstars, completing their Gigs to review their progress. We are now working hard on Soundchecks as we prepare for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).
