WB 18.03.24

The children in Year 4 have had a great week. They enjoyed an Urban Strides workshop on Monday and learnt some great street dance moves! On Friday, they attended a Boomwhackers workshop and made a class orchestra- it sounded amazing and it was lovely to see the smiles on their faces!

In English, the children pretended to be Boudicca and wrote great persuasive speeches for people to join their army to fight back the Roman's. The used a range of rhetorical questions, exclamation, paragraphs and imperative verbs. I loved hearing and reading these. In maths, the children have started learning about decimals and will be continuing this next week and after Easter.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Recent Learning

WB 15.01.24

Year 4 have worked incredibly hard this week. In maths, they have been multiplying numbers using the informal and formal written method. In English, they have continued learning the skills to write their diary entry next week, including their inner thoughts and feelings, rhetorical questions and time adverbials. Their diary is about them going to watch a gladiator fight in the Roman times.

The class loved walking around the school and identifying appliances which are battery powered and mains powered. They drew a table and recorded this on their walk. In history, they heard about Boudicca and did a hot seating activity.

Well done to the Year 4 children who attended the football tournament today! ⚽

Next week, the children have Rock Kidz on Tuesday and can dress up as a rock star for the day!! 🤘🎸👨🏻‍🎤Due to this, there will be no PE on Tuesday.

Stars of the week!
