Hello Year 4! We have had a really busy and exciting week of learning.
Highlights of the week:
In maths, the children have been consolidating their place value column addition and subtraction. They really enjoyed listen to the 'Shake it off column addition' song to help remember the steps to this method! Here is the link if they want to watch it again at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvsQuiy4UZA
In English, the children have been using all the skills we have built upon to write their own myth/quest story.
The children really enjoyed our school trip to the Potters Bar museum, where they learnt lots of interesting facts about local history. The asked some great questions and represented the school really well. Please see below for pictures.
I was lucky enough to go to the Lochinver 'Sing Out' day on Monday with members of the choir. It is so lovely to have so many members of the choir from Year 4! It was a great day and the children sang beautifully and really enjoyed being apart of a singing ensemble.
The children really enjoyed conducting our science experiment today on tooth decay. They are very interested to find out what is going to happen to the eggs they have placed in different liquids to show the effect of these drinks on our teeth.

The mindfulness song of the week was the Friends theme song 'I'll be there for you’ . The children have spoken about the importance of friendship and always supporting each other.
Please note:
Please make sure you check your parents consultation slot for next week. I am looking forward to meeting you all to discuss your child's progress. Just so that you are aware, these are 10 minute appointments and I will need to stick to this as much as possible to ensure that every one is seen on time. Of course if we do not manage to discuss everything in that time we can make arrangements to meet to finish off our meeting.
