What a week we have had in Year 4! The children have been doing lots of writing in different subjects and have blown me away with the pieces they have written. They have included everything we have learnt so far including fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases and pronouns. They were all a joy to read. Well done Year 4!
Maths – This week we have been focusing on volume and mass. We looked at how we can convert grams into kilograms and millilitres into litres. We also presented our findings in the form of a bar chart.
English – In English we have been concentrating on our theme of ‘Kevin the Carrot’. The children wrote a detailed story about what had happened in the video clip and included fronted adverbials, pronouns and dialogue.
Science – This week we created a local habitat survey. We looked at our surrounding area and noted the impact some changes have on our environment and also what we could do to help.
History – This week we have been exploring the Bayeaux Tapestry. We found out that it was 70 metres long and isn’t a tapestry but is a piece of needlework.
RE – In RE this week we have been looking at the Annunciation. We watched a video clip of when the Angel Gabriel visited Mary. We then discussed why God chose her and how she trusted in God so much she agreed to become his mother.
