What a great first week back! The children have settled in brilliantly, and we can’t quite believe we are already in the second half of Year 4.
In Maths, we continued our work on multiplication and subtraction, building on our understanding and applying our skills to a range of problems.
In English, we had a SPaG focus before starting our new book, Tar Beach. We explored expanded noun phrases and prepositions to help strengthen our descriptive writing.
In Science, we began our new unit, Animals Including Humans. We explored the different types of teeth and discussed what they are used for.
In Art, we started our new unit on portraits and explored the colour wheel, looking at how colours can be mixed and used effectively.
In History, we organised and discussed a timeline of the Tudors, helping us to understand where this period fits within British history.
In Computing, we explored effective searching and discussed how to find reliable information online.
It was also our first week in Forest School, and the children absolutely loved exploring the outdoor area and building dens together.
On Friday, as a special treat, we watched our production of Romeo and Juliet in the hall on the big screen — a wonderful way to celebrate all of the children’s hard work!
We still have one space available for our Mystery Reader slot on Wednesday. Please let me know if you are able to come in and read to the class.
Reminders:
All children need suitable clothes for Forest School sessions and PE kits need to be in school.
Thank you for your continued support!
Miss White, Mrs Bernard and Mrs Thomas
