Literacy: a new topic!

This morning saw the beginning of a new unit of Literacy work. We began by looking at historical stories. 

Maths: comparing and finding equivalent fractions

Year 4 find fractions of shapes this morning. They compared the fractions to each other and decided upon a size order. They also found equivalents too!

Capacity: How closely can you estimate?

How closely can you estimate capacity of liquids? Can you measure using lots of different scales? Year 4 can!

A fun packed first day of Summer term!

Year 4 joined up handwriting

We are now learning how to write using joined-up handwriting. We have very recently started to learn to write this way because of the changes that have been made to the National Curriculum. We wanted you all to see the progress we are making already with our handwriting.

#hastags in Guided Reading

This morning we were learning how to summarise in Guided Reading. We talked about #hastags and how they were used to summarise and we did the same to summarise the chapters in our books.

Do you ever use hashtags?

The Christian festival of Lent

To help us learn about Lent, we learned about What the Bible teaches Christians about Jesus in the desert. We learned that Christians believe he avoided temptation and during Lent, Christians show their respect for this by giving something up for 40 days and 40 nights.

We made pancakes. Even Pete, our Caretaker, came to have a go at making the pancakes! We also made presentations about Lent which we shared with the class.
