Year 4

Welcome to year 4!

Our Christian Value this term:

'COMPASSION'

Our learning this week (Monday 2nd December - Friday 6th December 2024)

English

The children finished their persuasive letter to the wicked witch requesting that the happy endings in the bedtime stories be returned. They all successfully applied persuasive language to ensure that the writing was convincing enough.

Maths

In maths, the children learnt 7, 9, 11, and 12 times tables and division using concrete resources to understand how to share/divide equally.

***Please ensure your child practises times tables daily to enhance their learning at school. We'll be doing our end-of-term assessment next week.

Computing

The children learnt how to use micro bits and wrote a plan to program them to create different projects including dance movements. Next week, they will use micro bits to program a volcano eruption.

Guided Reading

In guided reading, we focused on poetry, what a stanza is, and how we can create a poem using rhyming words. 

Science

We continued on sound and learned more about volume and how increasing energy increases it and decreasing energy decreases it. Then, we discussed some of the possible harmful effects of loud noises and how to protect our ears from them.

RE

The children become familiar with the GRACE PRAYER (May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all), a blessing that asks God to be with people who hear the prayer. The children then drafted some ideas for a class ‘Grace’ to understand how Christians might feel about ‘The Grace’.

PE

This week, we focused on netball, where we played as two teams, and Gymnastics, during which the children had an opportunity to use the apparatus.
