Hello Year Four,
This week we have been continuing to look at multiplication and division in our maths lessons. The children are moving ahead with their times tables and have been creating their own resources to help them. They have taken these home and need to use them at least a few times a week to ensure that they know all their tables to twelve within the coming weeks.
The children wrote beautifully this week. The writing was inspired by the book 'The Tear Thief' and they wrote a daily diary. The vocabulary was amazing, the use of sophisticated verbs and phrases and the extended sentences was evident throughout their work.
In our science lesson we learned about the water cycle. The children enjoyed this and soon understood that the cycle in continuous.
For geography we really dug deep into the structure of the Amazon Rainforest.
Next Week
English
Next week we will be working on poetry. The children will learn about alliteration and the poems will be inspired by the story 'The Tear Thief.'
Maths
We will continue to work on multiplication and division. Please ensure your child practises spellings at home as often as possible.
Geography
The focus will be learning about the indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest.
Design and Technology
Next week the children will be making nets of different shapes and sizes. We will continue to learn about shell structures before they begin their planning.
RE
We have been exploring praise and worship and the different buildings that are used for different religions. The children will continue to research this and on Thursday they will have the first-hand experience of visiting a Mandir. Later this term I have booked a visit to Christ Church for a morning of activities to learn about churches and how they are used for prayer and worship.
School Visit
The children are very excited for the trip to the Mandir next Thursday. Please ensure that they arrive at school on time and in full school uniform. They do not need to bring anything with them. Packed lunches or snacks are not permitted inside the temple. We are all looking forward to this amazing experience.
I wish you a happy weekend.
Ms Davis
