Good evening Year Four,
What a busy week we have had!
The children enjoyed 'Talent Night,' and it was so great to see them perform. They did a brilliant job!
Sports Day was also a successful event, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.
This week the children have continued to learn about decimal numbers.
For English we have learned how to use subordinate clauses.
We have started our new art project on Gaudi and the children have been sketching different aspects of the beautiful architecture he designed in Barcelona.
More D and T projects are arriving at school and the games are really quite sophisticated! They all enjoy playing them on Friday afternoons.
We went on an invertebrate hunt during our science lesson. The children found several species and researched lots of information about them. They drew detailed pictures of their findings and used keys to classify them.
The children were fascinated to discover that a Zeppelin was shot down and landed in Oakmere Park, Potters Bar. They wrote extensively about the incident.
For PHSE the children learned about the responsibility of having a baby and that to create a baby a sperm from a male fertilises and egg from a female. They learned that the baby grows in a female's womb. There may be further questions about this which the children want to ask you.
NEXT WEEK
English
We begin a poetry project next week. We will begin with a poem called 'A Raging River.' The children will learn about similes, metaphors, alliteration and personification before they begin to plan their own poem.
Maths
We will complete our exploration of decimals next week and move on to learn about money.
Science
The children will be studying key classifications in science, with regard to living things.
History
Next week we will be exploring old and recent photos of Potters Bar and recognising the differences and similarities. We will be investigating the reasons for certain changes.
Spanish
The children will be learning how to say and write important events.
