Welcome to Year 4!

This week so far: 

English: This week, students composed diary entries from the perspective of a refugee child compelled to leave their home due to war. They utilised their plans to articulate the child’s emotions effectively, while also incorporating essential grammatical features to enhance their narratives.

Maths: In math we have continued the topic of fractions looking at adding numbers from a mixed fraction subtracting fractions from the same denominator and subtracting from mixed fractions. Students then undertook the end of block assessment.

Science: This week in science, we delved into the fascinating world of food chains! We discovered how animal faeces can provide clues about what animals eat. It was a fun and engaging way to learn about ecosystems and the interconnectedness of life.

RE: In Religious Education, we examined the observance of Holy Week as experienced by a Catholic child in Jerusalem and an Anglican child in the United Kingdom. This comparative analysis highlighted the distinct traditions and rituals that characterise their respective celebrations, fostering a deeper understanding of diverse religious practices.

DT: In Design Technology, our students are currently researching and designing their very own battery-operated African safari trucks. This hands-on project encourages creativity and innovation, allowing students to explore engineering concepts while having fun. We can’t wait to see their fantastic designs come to life!

PE: Our PE lessons this week are volleyball and dance
