Welcome to Year 4!

This week so far: 

English: This week we have began our research on our information text inspired by our vehicle text 'Fox' by Margaret Wild and Ron Brooks. We have looked up various facts that we can use regarding the reputation of foxes, their appearance and finally fun facts. We then collated all this information and added it to a plan in order to begin writing next week. 

Maths: This week we have continued our new topic multiplication and division. We have  looked at the 7, 11 and 12 multiplication and division facts.

Science: This week looked at the dangers posed by electricity. We identified some dangers within the household and collectively came up with some rules we could abide by in order to keep ourselves safe.

Geography: This week we have looked at the Viking settlement Jorvik and why Viking chose to settle there. We also wrote a description of where York can be found today in relation to other cities that surround it. We then looked at Viking trading routes and what goods were imported from the various countries they travelled to.

RE: This week we have explored the symbols and colours used in a Christian church and what their symbolic meaning is.

PE: This term in PE we are doing gymnastics.
