Below is our most recent blog. This includes a summary of the last two weeks including any important information for the coming weeks (reminders etc).
What an incredible start to their year 4 journey the children have had! They have begun learning about this half term’s topics: electricity in science and Anglo Saxons vs Vikings in history. In science, they were very excited to make their own working circuits with bulbs and buzzers. It was impressive to see how quickly they became familiar with the components needed to make a complete circuit. In their history lesson, the children discovered what England was like at the end of the 4th century. They are looking forward to learning more about the rivalry between the Anglo Saxons and the Vikings.
In maths, the children have been recapping their knowledge of place value of numbers to 1000, partitioning them into hundreds, tens and ones to demonstrate their understanding.
English lessons have been based on the book ‘Arthur and the Golden Rope’ where the children were inspired by Arthur’s meeting of a mythical creature. They have started to plan and draft their own adventure story with a focus on using descriptive vocabulary.
The return of coach Rian has been met with much enthusiasm from the children as they started their gymnastics lessons where they revisited their headstand techniques.
