Hello Year Four,

We have come to the end of a busy week! 

We have been working on calculating area in maths and the children completed the end of block assessment successfully.

The children are learning how to create sentences with greater interest and more detail to use in creative writing challenges, so we have been learning how to recognise and use expanded noun phrases and fronted adverbials. They have written two setting descriptions which included the added phrases and next week we will be beginning to write an adventure story which include these.

We completed our project on food chains for science.

For RE we learned about symbols. We drew everyday symbols that we use and focused on symbols for Hinduism and Christianity.

We had a well-being day today and the focus was on understanding and recognising our feelings. We also looked at resilience and the children had two mindfulness sessions.

Next Week

Maths

Next week we will be beginning a new unit on multiplication and division. It will help a lot if they can practise their times tables for this.

English

Our English lessons will include working on using fronted adverbials and plotting an adventure story. the children will also have a comprehension lesson.

Science

We will be starting a new topic on sound next week. we will be learning about how we hear sounds and the materials sounds pass through. We will be experimenting with a variety of musical instruments.

History

The children will be exploring Phoenician writing. We will look at ancient writing and translate it so that we can understand it.

D and T

Following our soup tasting experience the children have discovered that the most popular soup is lentil.

Next week we will be making lentil soup!
