Welcome to year 4!

Our learning this week: Monday 28th April - Friday 2nd May 2025

English:

In English, the children began a new book called The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry. Through this story, they explored the concept of deforestation and discussed its impact on both animals and humans!

Maths:

In Maths, we focused on money, learning how to convert pence into pounds and vice versa. The children also tackled problem-solving questions to deepen their understanding of this concept.

Geography:

In Geography, we focused on a study of the UK, learning about the different populations, physical and human features of each country, historic landmarks, and major rivers across the nation. The children also learned to use ratios to estimate the distance between two places.

Science:

In science this week, we explored what plants need in order to grow. The children experimented to investigate how temperature affects plant growth, and we will observe the results over the coming week.

Guided Reading:

In Guided Reading, we have been focusing on Marcia Williams's book Kings and Queens, which explores the monarchs of England from Alfred the Great to King Charles III.

PE:

In PE this term, we have focused on tennis and athletics, developing skills such as coordination, agility and teamwork.
