4M have had a full week of learning this week and have been so impressive with all their knowledge and dancing in PE! 

We had a fantastic time in our library session, children explored different genres of their books and had a great time getting lost in their chosen stories and books. Remember: There is an exciting opportunity to enter a BBC 500-Word Writing Competition, these can be written or typed up and printed or emailed and is a fantastic opportunity for children to show off their fascinating imaginations. All entries can be emailed to the office or given to Mrs Whitely and must have the child’s name and class written on it. The deadline for this is October 16th. Happy writing 4M! 

The children embraced their inner artists as we began our Art projects that link beautifully with our learning all about the Roman’s. We have been designing our shields based on which patterns we felt inspired by when looking at traditional Roman shields.

We also focussed our learning in History on the story of Romulus and Remus, and the children had wonderful discussions around which stories could be myths and which are real!  

In Writing, we began to our first action write using our toolkit, making sure that we used fronted adverbials, prepositions, adjectives and descriptive phrases, punctuation and show not tell. We can’t wait to continue our story writing next week!

Have a fantastic weekend everybody!

4M have had a wonderful time and have delved deeper into our curriculum by exploring more about our upcoming Roman’s topics, our Science topic all about The Digestive System and finishing up our self-portraits ahead of our whole-school display.

Year 4 have settled in beautifully and I look forward to another exciting week ahead! Well done for being resilient, resourceful and reflective learners, you are all super stars!

Well done to 4M for a fantastic first week back! We have had many conversations that have helped us to get to know each other and they have shown me exactly how ACE they really are!

We have been lucky enough to pick some apples from the orchard and played multiplication games including times table bingo, would you rather and silent line-up!

4M have also shown their true artistic flare by taking part in a whole-school Art project where we began to draw our self-portraits ahead of the upcoming school display, designed their own jigsaw puzzles and their dream classrooms (unfortunately the well-requested slush-puppy stations won’t be implemented by Monday!).

At the end of year 4, children will complete their multiplication check so doing just 10 minutes a day will really help them become multiplication masters! We also encourage children to read three times a week and will have reading books going out from Monday.

I hope you have a lovely weekend everybody and rest ahead of another busy week! It has been a pleasure to meet you all this week and look forward to a fantastic year.
