Hello Year 4! 

Highlights of the week:

In maths, the children have been looking at the most effective methods to solve subtraction. In English we have been creating character descriptions for our myth/quest stories. The children really enjoyed our history lesson this week where we were interviewing Mr Beridge about Potters Bar. The children asked some great questions, and learnt lots of new information. In science we have been making information booklets all about human teeth. The class are getting excited about using this learning for our upcoming experiment on tooth decay!

The mindfulness song of the week was ‘Fight song’ by Rachel Platten. The children spoke about how this represents standing up for what is right. 

Please note: 
As part of our art topic, we are completing a project all about what makes us unique. Over the next couple of weeks we will be completing some observation drawings of things that are special to the children. The class wrote which 4 things they would like to bring in to draw on a post it note which has gone home. Can I please ask that they bring 1 of these items in on Thursday for our first observation drawing. It does not need to stay in school and will go home with them on Thursday evening.
