Spellings
This week we will be exploring the wonderful world of the ‘prefix’. We will recap some spelling patterns from year 3 and then explore the ‘in’ prefix. Here are our spelling words for this week.
Take a look at these video lessons to help you to understand what a prefix is and their meanings.
English
In English this week we will be writing our own recount texts. We will be using a boxing up grid to plan our recount. Use this grid to help you with your plan –
Science
This week we continue to explore forces. We will be learning about friction and how this can effect the speed of a moving object. We will be setting up an investigation to see how different surfaces effect the speed of a toy car.
