Yr 4 Looking Back and Forth - Friday 19th February 2023
Friday 19th February– Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back:
This week, the children have created a double page spread of Arctic fox information and put together one for their Anglo-Saxons work. These have been great opportunities for the class to show what they have learnt.
Questions to ask at home
- What information can you tell me about Anglo-Saxons?
- What information can you tell me about Arctic foxes?
Children’s highlights of the week
- TTrockstars time and the lunchtime club
- Maths – multiplication
- Anglo-Saxons double page spread
- Clay brooches – for our Anglo-Saxons work
- The science quiz!
- E. with Mr Biggs
Looking forward:
The children, this term are going to be learning about the Vikings! Their topic work and English work will combine. We will be reading information texts about Vikings as well as recreating a Viking saga of our own. Using a super book called ‘Arthur and the Golden Rope’.
In maths, the children will continue with their division and multiplication work, which then in turn, will lead onto fractions later in the year.
Homework in Year 4
Maths– 3 digit by 1 digit multiplication sheet – to keep skills sharp
English – fronted adverbials
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
Spellings – Mrs Riddell – Please learn them for the test on Wednesday. It is better to look at them for 5 minutes each day than try to learn them all in one night. The children remember them better learnt over the week.
Could the children please complete their homework in pencil or blue/black pen not felt tip.
Timestables – for Thursday - the children will be getting new timestables this week - (these were given out on Friday with how many columns the children need to learn.)
(This can be handed it at anytime before Friday, the children know where the basket is)
