Hello Year Four,
We have had a fabulous week!
On Tuesday we went to visit Christ Church. The focus was on the church building and contents and praise and worship.
The children had a series of activities to experience that were linked to the theme. They learned so much and enjoyed it very much.
When we returned to school the children completed a project on churches and Christianity. They remembered so much from the visit and had fun adding photos to their work.
For maths we are working on measurement. We have learned to measure in metres, centimetres and millimetres. We are currently exploring perimeters.
In our English lessons the children have learned how to write play scripts. Some of the children are creating a puppet show of Alice in Wonderland and others will be acting a scene from the play.
We have also been completing a design and technology project. As you know from their home project we have been exploring shell structures and have been focussing on skyscrapers. Thank you so much for ensuring these were completed at home. The children have learned so much from this study.
This week they designed and created a skyscraper with set specifications. We were all amazed at how well they did. Most of the buildings met the criteria.
NEXT WEEK
English
The children will be working on comprehension next week. They will be learning to direct and film plays and puppet shows. Following this we will watch the performances and discuss the outcomes.
Maths
We will continue our work on perimeters, moving on to find the missing lengths in rectilinear shapes.
History
Next week we begin a new project in our history lessons as we explore life for The Anglo Saxons, Picts and Scots.
RE
The children will be reflecting on where they find safe sacred/special places to be in peace, quietly reflect and feel safe.
PHSE
We begin a new chapter in PHSE as we start 'Healthy Me.' We will begin by focussing on healthy friendships.
ART
In line with our design and technology project on buildings, we will begin to explore skylines. The children will experiment with paint, charcoal and pencil to create effective \London skylines.
World Book Day
Next Thursday is World Book Day, so the children will be able to dress up as a character from a favourite book. They can also bring the book in with them. It will be a fun day as we explore books.
Have a great weekend!
Ms Davis
