Hello Year 4!
Highlights of the week:
In maths, the children have been looking at the most effective methods to solve addition problems this week, and learnt the importance of estimating an answer before you start working it out. In English, we have been focusing on using our senses to create exciting setting descriptions for our myth/quest stories. The children came up with a great range of similes to describe the pictures of a mythical settings. In history, the children have been creating a range of good quality questions about Potters Bar, ready to interview our mystery guest next week!
The mindfulness song of the week was ‘This is me’ from The Greatest Showman'. This a particularly popular one and the children spoke about the importance of recognising what makes each of us unique and special.
