This week we have learnt....

We have had a great start to Year 4 this week!

Everyone has come back after the summer ready to learn and have fun! We have been getting used to our new routines and the lessons we will be doing each day.

In maths, we have been focusing on our times tables, building fluency in the 5s and 10s especially. We have tried some different ways of learning them, including 'Times table table tennis' and 'Times table Bingo!'. It would be great if the children could show you these at home.

In English, we began reading out first class book 'Charlotte's Web' which we will be using for our reading and writing lessons. We did some interesting drama activities which you can see in the photos below. We freeze framed scenes from Chapter 1 and hot seated as different characters.

We have also started our new topic of 'USA Road Trip'. The children were excited to come up with things they wanted to know which we can explore this term. We are very fortunate to be working with Mrs Mars this term on a fantastic design & technology project to make a New York inspired city landscape. Keep an eye out for more on that!

Well done on a great first week and well done to all our value award winners and stars of the week so far!

Have a great weekend.
