Year 4 have returned to school renewed after their half term break! It has been wonderful to see year 4 come back to school with a fresh sense of determination and resilience.
In English, we have been rejoined by our much loved theater workshop group. Year 4 have continued to learn about and grow their resilience through exciting Drama activities and retelling stories. In class, we have incorporated our Ancient Egyptian Topic into our Non Fiction writing. Year 4 have spent time planning out their own Newspaper article including its name, headings and layout. Hopefully very soon, the children will have edited and published their very own newspaper recount about discovering Tutankhamun’s tomb!
In Maths, Year 4 have spent time practising their column subtraction and using these methods to solve word problems. The class have shown much resilience during their Maths work, persevering when they make mistakes and never giving up!
In Science, Year 4 have started looking at living things and their habitats. We have been looking at different types of habitats and the kinds of flora and fauna that would live in that natural environment, we had a lot of fun as a class discussing the different animals we could think of! The class also started to investigate how those animals have adapted to survive in those habitats.
In topic, we celebrated our first themed day! The children wowed the whole school with their Ancient Egyptian dress and their enthusiasm for the day. Year 4 spent the morning learning about hieroglyphics before using them to create their own pieces of writing. Year 4 then cracked a code of hieroglyphics to make their own dance moves which we put together to music! Year 4 then spent the afternoon, trying Ancient Egyptian inspired snacks and trying a range of activities such as, making pyramids and learning about old Egyptian Gods.
As the weeks go on, the teachers in Year 4 are so proud of the way the student’s resilience and team work skills are growing. All of the class are trying their best to be the best they can be and treat others how they would like to be treated.
