Meet The Teacher - Year 4

W/C 13th July

We have had a fantastic final full week in Year 4!

Maths:

In maths this week we have been spending time consolidating our learning on time. We have re-visited telling the time on both a 12 and 24 hour clock to ensure that we feel really confident with this topic. Learning to tell the time is tough so this has proved to be really beneficial!

English:

This week we have planned and written our own reports all about Aslan's return to Narnia. We explored the different features needed within a report such as a heading and sub-heading. We really enjoyed stepping into role as report writers and including our own quotes from the characters within the book.

PE:

In cricket this week we had our final lesson with the coach. We continued to work on our skills, playing cricket in small teams. We have thoroughly enjoyed these sessions this term!

Children's University:

On Wednesday morning all of Key Stage 2 got together in the hall and we shared the skills that we have been working on throughout the year. It was great to hear what everyone has been up to and to also see everyone get awarded their lovely certificates!

Science:

We explored the scientist Carl Linneaus who invented the classification system. We learnt more about the different categories that he created and how these help scientists even now within their work. We also completed our HOT task, re-visiting all of our prior learning from the last two terms.

RE:

In RE this week we finalized our learning on Hinduism by re-visiting our focus question; what does it mean to be a Hindu in Britain today? It was fantastic to see all of the knowledge that has been gained by everyone across the last two terms. We have all really enjoyed this topic and exploring a culture and faith that we knew limited information about.

PSHE:

We thought about the different behaviours that make us both happy and sad whilst thinking about whether it's our individual responsibility to keep each other safe. We also discussed what taxes are and who pays them before consolidating our learning in the form of a HOT task where we re-capped all of the content that we have explored this term.

Extra tasks:

On Tuesday we spent the day at Bore Place. We had lots of fun going on a long walk to the woods where we were very lucky and got to complete a range of activities of our choice; drawing, den building and exploring. Some very impressive dens were built and one even included a door! After lunch, we went to a different part of the woodland and completed some sound maps. We shut our eyes and really listened to what we could hear; the wind, birds chirping, planes, people chatting etc. We then drew pictures to represent these in the different areas that we heard them in.

On Friday afternoon we had our Sports Day! We all enjoyed competing in the different events to try and get the most points for each of our teams.

Thank you all for such a brilliant year Year 4! You have all worked tremendously hard and it has been an absolute pleasure to be your teacher and to see you all grow in your confidence. I will miss all of you!

I hope you all have a wonderful and well deserved summer break.
