What an exciting week we've had in Year 4, let's  dive into all the wonderful things we've been up to!

 

This week in English, we continued reading our new book and followed the character of Rhianna through Chapters 1 and 2. We've been exploring her feelings and emotions, understanding her character better, and discussing how she navigates the challenges she faces. It's been a fantastic journey so far, and we're eager to see where the story takes us next! We have planned diary entry from the perspective of Rhianna and we are looking forward to writing it on Monday.

In Maths, we've built upon our work on length and perimeter. We've tackled more complex problems by finding the missing lengths of shapes and then calculating their perimeter. We have extended this knowledge to calculating the area of polygons. We have learned that a polygon is a shape with straight sides and a regular polygon has sides all the same length. Everyone has shown great determination and problem-solving skills. Keep up the fantastic work!

 

We all planted a sunflower seed ready for World Down Syndrome Day, we are looking forward to watching them grow.🌻

 

Our new topic in History is the Romans, and we started by locating Italy on a map of Europe. We zoomed in to find the capital, Rome, and learned that Italy is in Europe, above the equator in the Northern Hemisphere, and has a Mediterranean climate. It's great to see the children making cross curricular links between history and geography,  🇮🇹

 

We started our new science topic this week, looking at the classification of animals and plants. We looked anti different ways we could group animals and cam up with some interesting ways.  🐝🦋
Thursday was lots of fun as we celebrated World Book Day! Everyone came dressed as their favourite characters, and we enjoyed a day full of fun activities celebrating all the fantastic books we love. It was a memorable day filled with creativity, laughter, and a shared love for reading. Thank you to everyone for the time and effort that was put into some very creative costumes. 📚

 

This week's homework is a carousel on History for revision, times tables practice to ensure we get that rapid recall, and spellings.

Have a lovely weekend!
