Year 4 News
We’ve had a really good start to the year in Year 4! The children have worked incredibly hard this term and have truly earned a well-deserved half-term break. They have shown so much respect and perseverance and it has been wonderful to see their confidence grow. The highlight of this week has been watching them perform their gymnastics routines. It has been fantastic to see how far they have come, especially those who were unsure about gymnastics at the beginning of the term but have now become such passionate gymnasts. We are incredibly proud of them all!
This week:
Maths: We have been learning about area, exploring how to measure and calculate the space inside different shapes.
Geography: We have learnt about life in North and South America, exploring the similarities and differences between the two continents and the ways people live in different places.
Writing: We have carefully chosen words, shaped them into lines and used our poetry techniques to create poems inspired by a storm. The children have enjoyed experimenting with language to create vivid images and atmosphere.
Reading: We have continued exploring The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The children are loving meeting the new characters and discovering the twists and turns in the story!
PSHE: We have discussed how we can respond positively to people's differences and opinions. We have also explored how our behaviour can affect other people's feelings and the importance of being thoughtful and respectful towards others.
PE: The children were so keen to perform their routines again that we spent more time celebrating and showcasing everything they have learnt so far. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm, determination and progress!
RE: We have learnt about Mahatma Gandhi and explored why he was admired by many people for his beliefs, actions and commitment to peace.
Thank you so much for all your support throughout this term. We are very proud of the children's hard work, perseverance and positive attitudes. We hope you all have a wonderfully relaxing and well-deserved half-term break, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for another exciting term of learning!
