Times tables
Group 1
11’s and 12’s times tables (12s up to 12×6)
Group 2
Look at the 4s up to 4×6
Literacy: This week we have learned to construct similes that make relevant comparisons to enhance descriptive meaning for an atmospheric scene setting.
Maths: The children have been learning to use a systematic method – factor trees and bugs – to identify the different factors and factor pairs.
RE: We have learned about the baptism of Jesus and how John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus’ arrival.
History: Year 4 have constructed a timeline of the life and reign of King Alfred the Great. We discussed how the viking invasions at the time made this a crucial turning point in the history of England. We have also looked at Viking and Anglo-Saxon pagan beliefs looking at their similarities and differences.
Music: We are continuing to compose using the minor pentatonic scale.
PHSE: We are continuing with the next of Kester’s videos.
Have a good a week!
