Welcome to Year 4!

This week so far: 

English: In English, we have begun planning our eco superhero narrative. The children have been thinking carefully about their superhero’s powers and how these will help protect the Earth. They have also planned out the story ready for writing next week, and we are excited to see their ideas come to life.

Maths: In maths this week, we have started our statistics topic. We have been exploring tables, pictograms and bar charts, and the children have shown great enthusiasm as they begin to compare and interpret data. It has been lovely to see their confidence growing already.

Science: This week in science, we explored how evaporation and condensation happen naturally in the water cycle. The children were brilliant at observing the changes and discussing what they noticed. We also created a working model in a sandwich bag, which helped everyone see these important processes in action.

Music: In music this week, we have started our recorder topic. Students recapped the B, A and G notes, and were introduced to the high C and D notes in preparation for learning In the Jungle. It has been wonderful to hear their growing confidence and enthusiasm.

RE: In RE, we explored the fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf and discussed why parents might use this story to teach children an important lesson. We then compared fables with parables from the Bible, thinking about how each helps to share values and guidance, and why parables are especially important to Christians.

PE: PE this term will be Orienteering
