What an interesting end to the week in Year 4! Ask your child about the science experiment we did this afternoon…

In Maths, this week we having been learning to tell the time. From our individual starting points, we have progressed to reading the analogue and digital time (12 and 24 hour). We have also solved word problems involving time intervals and reading timetables.

Our English work this week has involved writing an exciting commentary of Peter Pan and Hook’s battle using a variety of impressive vocabulary. We have now moved on to understanding the features of a play script, taking speech from a graphic novel and changing its format.

RE this week has progressed onto looking closely at Jesus’s Presentation at the Temple. We have written the headline and opening paragraph of a newspaper, reporting the story.

For home learning over next week the children will benefit from continuing to practise telling the time in both analogue and digital (12hr and 24hr). It has been suggested that a ‘time diary’ would be a good idea to complete. For example, at what time did you eat dinner and how long did this last for? In preparation for our next unit of work on Measurement (converting mm-cm, g-kg, for example), children should refresh themselves on place value (multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000).
