Welcome to Year 4!

This week so far: 

English: This week in English, our students analysed an example diary entry based on our vehicle text 'The Journey' by Frenci Sanna. We looked at the key vocabulary and grammatical features used before planning our own diary entry from the perspective of one of the children in the story.

Maths: This week our students continued our learning of our new block fractions looking at adding fractions with the same denominator and adding mixed number fractions.

Science: This week in science, we looked at some of the 206 bones in the skeletal system. We looked at how we rely on our bones to protect our internal organs and move around. We also looked at living creatures that use an exoskeleton for this.  

RE: In our Religious Education classes, students looked at how Mary would have felt at various stages of the Easter story. We also looked at the symbol of the cross and wrote a prayer from the perspective of Mary.

History: This week in history students continued their learning of The Benin Kingdom. We have considered how the Oba dynasty and the incredible artwork that they created. We also discussed the colonisation of the country by British forces and how the artwork that is now displayed in museums across the world was obtained.

PE: Our PE lessons this week are volleyball and dance
