It was lovely hearing what all the children had been up to over their half term break. I have missed them all terribly!

I have been really impressed with the work the children have produced this week. The standard has been fantastic. You would not have thought they have had 2 weeks off! Well done Year 4.

This week we started our new Talk 4 Writing booklet ‘Mission’ the children seemed to enjoy the spy theme. The children read the story then answered true or false questions based on the text. They then ordered the events in the correct order then explored the vocabulary. To finish the week the children created their own character profiles for the characters in the text.

In Maths the children have been looking at decimals. They were able to write decimals, compare decimals and order decimals. The children’s detailed explanations when solving the word problems on their worksheets blew me away. Keep working hard Year 4, I am super proud of you all!

Our curriculum focus this week was Geography. The children read an information text, answered questions on it then created their own information poster. I was really impressed with the amount of detail the children included in their poster. I have added a few examples below.

I have organised a times table battle for next week. It will start on Monday at 1pm and will finish on Tuesday at 5pm. It will be Year 4 boys vs Year 4 girls. For each child that earns over 400 points, they will receive 3 dojos each. I wonder who will win this time.

Next week our curriculum focus will be RE where we will be learning about the life of Pope Francis. Don’t forget that you can still visit the church website to ask Father Jim any questions and he is still posting daily masses you can watch.

The learning project this week is focused on Space.

I have added a new Geography workbook called ‘Country up close’ this will be looking at Greece and the Olympics. The website Oddizzi will support this learning. Please let me know if you need me to re-send you our class log in details.
