This week, some of the Year 4’s have been helping with the school’s gardening. The children have been monitoring, watering and harvesting different kinds of plants in the school’s garden and polytunnel. Some of the harvested goods are even going to be used in the school kitchen to contribute towards school dinners.
Year 4’s Learning This Week:
English: Year 4 have started exploring their new vehicle text today of “The Lost Happy Endings”. We have been predicting what we think the story will be about based on the images and words on the front cover before beginning to explore the spooky setting of the story and how that makes the main character feel in the narrative.
Maths: Year 4 have been concentrating on converting improper fractions into mixed numbers this week to aid them in adding and subtracting fractions.
RE: Year 4 have been exploring and describing in detail the different roles within our local Parish community.
Science: This week, the class have been exploring evaporation and condensation before we begin learning about the process of the water cycle.
PE: Year 4 have been playing rounders today to aid them in their throwing and running skills that will be needed during athletics and sports day!
E-Safety: Year 4 have been learning all about what is acceptable and unacceptable about online gaming.
PSHE: Year 4 have been working hard on exploring their emotions in a safe and healthy way this week, recognising that it is ok to share their thoughts and opinions in a positive way.
DT: Year 4 are concentrating on mindfulness and exploring products on the market that help us participate in mindfulness activities.
