Saturday 14th November

Hello everyone,

It's been another busy week in year 4. Some of the highlights have included fantastic acting and production during our Midsummer Summer Night's dream filming; impressive perseverance and resilience during circuit training and gymnastics and some inspired creativity during art and design.     

It has been wonderful doing the filming with the children which will continue next week (keep learning lines and bringing in costumes please). Mr Spracklen has been sharing the editing process with the children which they and I have really enjoyed. The children are particularly excited by the green screen effects. 

  

Next week the children will be given a number of independent learning activities to complete when they are not filming. These activities will continue and consolidate the learning they have been doing in class in maths and literacy, together with some creative curriculum activities (RWI will be taught as normal). Whilst this way of working will be new to year 4 it is an approach which has a number of benefits for all learners and is an approach which year 3 have already adopted during literacy.   

Next week we will also be focusing on building the learning power of resourcefulness which is a school wide focus this half term.

It is Anti-Bullying week from the 16th November, and to launch this please could all children please come in wearing odd socks.   

 

I will continue to set mathletics activities for home learning and so if your child doesn't know their login please let a member of the team know so we can send these home. 

If you have any questions or comments please get in touch.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

Ms Browne and the year 4 team. x
