Year 4

Week five has been assessment week. All the children have demonstrated great persistence and determination to try their hardest in all the tasks set.

In Science we have been applying our knowledge of Evaporation and Condensation in the Water Cycle. In Art we have been adding water colour to our volcano landscapes. The children have been enjoying experimenting with different brush strokes and blending colours. In preparation for our Carol Service we continue to learn our songs. 

During week four, we have started our to develop our multiplication and division facts in Maths. The effort that the children are putting in with Timestable Rockstars is starting to be evident in their learning.

In English we have been focusing on our story telling. For the first time ever, the children are typing up their story continuation on their iPads. Everyone is learning so many new skills. In Art we have been sketching our volcano landscapes, which links in nicely with the Geography topic of Volcanoes and Earthquakes.

In music this week we added percussion to the Sea Shanties we have learnt, as well as lots of singing in preparation for the outdoor Carol Concert. 

This week in Year 4 we have been summing up our geography learning about volcanoes, mountains and earthquakes by writing a report about one that we have researched ourselves. Our iPads have been valuable tools to find out all about some of the most famous geological events in history. 

We have been beginning to learn about column multiplication using our improving times tables knowledge, and have worked hard to finish off our amazing volcano paintings!
