Hi Year Four,
What a great week we have had. The children had so much fun putting their assembly together and they did so well. They certainly are a confident group of performers!
We are continuing to work on multiplication and division.
Many children were thrilled this week as they learned their table and were able to move on to the next. Congratulations to those who have now passed them all. The rate of learning has improved a lot and the children are saying that they are now practising at home. It really does make a huge difference!
For English we have been concentrating on writing the middle part of a story. We have been 'up levelling' our sentences to make the writing more interesting and exciting. The children are learning to use expanded noun phrases, adverbs and fronted adverbials.
We have completed our topic on Picasso for art and will be focussing on Designing and making our vegetable and lentil soup over the coming weeks.
NEXT WEEK
Maths
We will continue to work on multiplication and division.
English
The focus will be singular and plural spelling and the possessive s with an apostrophe.
The children will be writing the ending of their stories and working on ensuring that each sentence makes sense and that the story flows.
We are currently reading 'Stig of the Dump' by Clive King. Next week the children will have a comprehension lesson based on this book.

We will continue our project exploring 'sound.' Next week we will be learning about the ear and how it works.

Visit to The Hindu Temple
The deadline for payment for this trip is 9th December. The children are very excited to experience this and there is so much to look forward to.
They are able to dress in traditional costume, have their faces painted, ride in an oxen cart and visit a shrine. a professional speaker will be attending for an interactive presentation and they get the chance to eat a traditional lunch.
We learn about the Hindu religion in year four and the children find it interesting and enjoy the lessons. Visiting the temple is an experience they may not be offered again and will be extremely beneficial to their understanding.
Please could you confirm your child's place on this trip as soon as possible.
Many thanks #
Ms Davis
