We’ve been learning about Sound this week. This link has lots of fun games which can help you to learn more about sound and how we hear:

Can you find out the names of the three tiny bones inside your ear? What does the cochlea do? Can sound travel through a solid?

This week in year four!

This week in Literacy started to learn about Double ly sentences and how we can fit them in our writing to make it better. A Doubly ly sentence has 2 adverbs and 1 verb e.g. Carefully and Fearfully I jumped into the swimming pool.

On Friday we had our class assembly about the rain forest. It was based on the story ‘The Great Kapok Tree’. It was a fantastic assembly and everyone loved it!

In Maths we have been learning about the 9 and 8 times tables and their matching division facts e.g. 4 x 6 = 24, 6 x 4 = 24 so 24 divided by 6 = 4 and 24 divided by 4 = 6.

Challenge 1.

Can you find out a times table and division sum for the 10, 11 or 12 times table?

Challenge 2.

Can you write a double ly sentence about the rainforest?

 

Challenge 3.

We’ve just finished the first Spiderwick book. Can you write a review of the story? Did you like it? Would you recommend it? What was the best part? Who was your favourite character?
