What a fantastic week we have had! We have been doing lots of drama, Father visited us and we also dressed up and shared our favourite stories for World Book Day. The children have blown me away this week with their times table knowledge and results from their Star Reading tests. I can see real progress! Well done Year 4! Keep working hard, I am incredibly proud of each and every one of you!
English - This week we have been continuing with our playscripts theme. We have been doing lots of drama to gain more of an understanding of the thoughts and motives of characters.
Maths - We have been working hard on our methods of addition and subtraction. We have looked at both mental and written methods then we chose the appropriate method for our calculations.
RE - Father came to visit us this week to discuss how our responses in Mass links to our beliefs. We analysed three parts of the Mass and looked at both Father’s words and our responses.
Science - This week we have been looking at the dangers of electricity. We played a game on the interactive whiteboard where we needed to find all the dangers inside a house. We then created information posters.
Geography - We have been investigating what life is like in the Favela of Rochina in Rio. We found out information about how the families made their money and survived. We also discovered how the children contributed to their families income.
Notice
