Well done Lola!

In Literacy this week, we have been writing stories using our imaginations. The children have been working on skills such as; writing speech using the correct punctuation and fronted adverbials. All of the children's stories incorporated them finding a magical ring and then describing what the ring would do, where it would take them and the adventure that they would go on. The children have all made lots of progress in their writing over the past few weeks. As you can tell, we are very proud year 4 staff.

This week in Maths, we have been learning about fractions. The children have used their times table knowledge to aid them in this. Practicing TT Rockstars really helps the children throughout all of our Maths lessons.

Some brilliant home learning about fractions from Lottie!

Personal, Social, Health and Emotional Development

Today during our afternoon session, we spoke to the children about puberty. The children learned about the changes that occur during puberty by watching an educational video, which depicted how both the male and female bodies will change.

This was followed by a discussion, where the children were encouraged to ask any questions that they had. The children learned about the different parts of the body using the correct terminology and the importance of good hygiene routines during the puberty period.

The children demonstrated excellent knowledge throughout the session and we were incredibly proud of how mature and sensible the class were while taking part in these sensitive discussions.

Following this lesson, your child may wish to speak to you about what they have learned. We have reminded the children to always be respectful when discussing these matters.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

We love seeing work that children have chosen to complete in their own time! Fantastic work on fronted adverbials and times tables. Well done Lavenia!

Some more fabulous work done by one of class in their own time. The children are really showing interest in our topic of the Romans.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is some of the fantastic work our children have produced so far about the Romans. The children are enjoying learning about the weapons and armour that the Romans used to defeat their enemies.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Our topic for this half term is called...

'I am Warrior'.

During this topic, we are learning all about Ancient Rome and the people who lived there. We will be exploring what life was like 2000 years ago in Rome, examining roman artefacts, learning who the Gladiators were and what life was like in the Roman army.

Do you think you'd have what it takes to be a legionaire?

Music

Today (11/2/22), children were introduced to a fun website where they can make music using various methods including using pianos, drum kits, synthesizers. This is the website:

https://www.fun2think.com/free-online-music-making-for-kids/

Perhaps you could create your own song and share it with the rest of our class?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Take a look at this fabulous topic based home learning done by members of our class. We LOVE the positive attitudes that you are demonstrate towards your learning!

Here is some of the work that we have chosen to display about our current topic. The children have worked so hard in their learning and we have been astounded by some of the homework that children have chosen to do independently. These children have, of course, been rewarded with beks!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Our topic for this term is named...

'Misty Mountain, Winding River'.

In this topic, we will be learning all about the different geographical locations that contain mountains and rivers. We will learn about the water cycle, different mountains from around the world, different mountain formations, features of rivers and rivers from around the world.

LAVA LAMP INSTRUCTIONS

In a glass, fill 1/2 of the glass with cooking oil and 1/4 of the glass with water. Leave the other 1/4 empty.

Add a few drops of cooking oil (red works well).

Then, under adult supervision drop a fizzy tablet into the glass.

After a few seconds, the tablet will create bubbles, which will give the appearance of a lava lamp by sending air bubbles through the cooking oil.
