Hello everyone!
Sorry we haven't posted a blog for a little while, we have all been so busy in Year 4 and it's only going to get busier as we approach CHRISTMAS.
I just want to start this blog but saying how impressed we all were with the imaginative eco-friendly inventions that were thought of. These ranged from a magnetic warehouse (to limit the electricity used) to a party bike that collected rubbish from parties and recycled this. We also wrote instructions on how to use these! We were all amazed by the children's abilities to explain how these work.
In Power Maths we have been looking at 4 digit numbers. We have been working on how to round 4 digit numbers to the nearest 1000, 100 and 10. All children have been engaged with this and are coming up with some really good explanations on how they got to their answers.
In Literacy this week we have been focusing on the book Flotsam by David Wiesner. This book has no words but pictures to tell the story. This has been the perfect book to develop imagination and ideas. On Friday we have planned in a Big Write, which will focus on what happened next in the Flotsam Story. We are really excited to see the results from this!
We have also given parts for the school musical which is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Rehearsals have started this week for this by learning the songs. Next week we will be starting to act and place children on the stage.
Parent/Teacher consultations are also starting tonight and tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you all.
The Year Four Team.
