Numeracy has seen us learning about multiplying and dividing whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100, 1000 etc, understanding what happens to the number (getting 10, 100, 1000 times bigger or smaller) and seeing how the number moves places using 0 as a place holder.
We immersed ourselves further into the life of a WW2 evacuee by watching a clip from Good Night Mr. Tom followed by some very moving drama today. This generated a huge amount of vocabulary ready for the first installment of our WW2 evacuee stories..........I can't wait to read them!
We continued our second dance lesson learning the Cha Cha - the children were amazing - exercising mind and body.........as well as working with a partner! We will be learning The Waltz and hopefully The Jive (maybe The Quickstep) all with a view to having a WW2 Tea Dance with a VE Day party towards the end of our topic! (Get practising........we would love you to come but you must dust off your dancing shoes!)
RE saw us beginning to explore Hinduism - The Tri Murti and the many deities (Gods and Goddesses) - we were learning that although there is one God in Hinduism, there are many "faces" or "sides" to God. We also learned the story of Ganesh (the elephant headed God) and how he got his head - gruesome stuff!!!!!
In Science this week we began learning about teeth - the names and function of the different teeth - we used a tasty digestive biscuit and a mirror to help us investigate! Mmmmmm!
I hope the spellings and x table practice is going well?
Well done to Eliza, Alexandra, Amber and Zoe for your EXTRA home learning - SUUUUUUPER impressed! :-)
A call out, again, for any volunteers to help listen to children read - please pop in and let us know if you can!
Reminder: Playtime Warden letters need to be in to me by Friday, however I will allow an extension of Monday 23rd September - please please consider applying - we need you!!!!!! Thank you to all those of you who have applied - your letters are of a very high standard!
Keep up the hard work!
Year 4 Team
