We have had such a lovely week, and it has been wonderful to see the children settling into their new routines and getting stuck into their learning. They have worked really hard and it has been a great start to the year!
🔢 Maths: We have been exploring place value, focusing on 4-digit numbers. The children have been learning to recognise the value of each digit and have been using different representations to help them understand how numbers are made up. We have had lots of great discussions and the children have shown some brilliant mathematical thinking.
📚 English: We have started our new text, The Lion and the Unicorn. The children began by looking at the story and making predictions about what they thought it might be about. We have also been exploring the different characters and thinking carefully about their feelings, thoughts and actions. The children then had the opportunity to write in the role of the main character, Lenny, which produced some fantastic writing and ideas!
🔬 Science: We have started our new Science topic, States of Matter. We completed a cold task to find out what the children already know about solids, liquids and gases. It was great to see how much prior knowledge they could remember, and we are looking forward to building on this throughout the topic.
🏊 Swimming: Swimming has been a great success this week! The children have been fantastic and have really enjoyed getting into the pool. They have shown great enthusiasm and have been listening carefully to instructions.
Overall, it has been a brilliant first full week. The children have been kind, enthusiastic and hardworking, and we are so pleased with how they have settled into Year 4.
Well done, Year 4! 💛
We are already looking forward to another great week of learning, fun and lots more exciting things to come! 🌟
