Year 4

Welcome back to school! We have done an amazing job of settling right back into our learning, with some incredible effort from the children. We have begun our new book, Varjak Paw, and are already gripped by the tricky situation Varjak finds himself in, caught between his family and desire for adventure. In maths we have been recapping our all-important operations to secure our understanding and help us get back into our maths groove. We have also finally begun our long-awaited Anglo-Saxons topic – can your child explain who they were and why they came to Britain?  

Lots of wonderful things to come this term, 

Mr Haycock and Mr Ginns 

Welcome to the end of term! We have all worked super hard through a tricky term, and the children have done an amazing job of creating PowerPoints to share their geography learning this term – learning a number of really valuable skills! We have been telling the time in maths, in both digital and analogue, 12 hour and 24 hour, to the nearest minute! Phew! Talk about the time with your child over the holidays and see what they can tell you. Have a lovely Easter and we are looking forward to seeing the children back fresh and ready to learn on Monday 19^th April.

This week Year 4 have been enjoying writing their own story based around an animal, inspired by our class text (Charlotte’s Web). We have seen some excellent writing skills and renewed focus from the children showing how much they have loved this opportunity. We have begun to study statistics and time in Maths involving pictograms and interpreting graphs. The highlight pf the week for the children was investigating and making circuits in Science.
