Hello Year Four,
This week we have completed our block on money during our maths lessons. The children enjoyed this area of maths!
We are currently looking at figurative speech in our English lessons, particularly alliteration and personification. This is in preparation for poetry writing.
We completed our science project on living things and their habitats by researching endangered animals. The children were quite shocked by the statistics and the reasons that some of our animals are becoming extinct. They carried out their own research.
For Spanish we learned about the Mexican festival 'The Day of the Dead.' The children were fascinated by this.
We are continuing to complete our history topic on Potters Bar in the Past.
NEXT WEEK
Maths
We will be learning about time and hopefully moving on to statistics.
English
The children will continue to plan and write a poem about a river.
D and T
It would be great if any projects being carried out at home could come in to school next week. For those who have not finished, they will be given time to complete the game in school.
ART
We will be using Gaudi's Trencadis animals to create mosaics next week.
