Summer Term
Maths - Today we recapped rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We went outside to make a human number line, and then rounded our own numbers to the nearest 100, placing ourselves in the correct spot on the number line!
Music - We had our final ukulele lesson today, and the children have progressed so well! Their final performance was fantastic and I am so proud of all they have learnt!
RE - Jubilee Pledge Day!
Sports Day 2025!
RE - We had a fantastic research lesson, where we explored how countries such as Poland and the Philippines, celebrate Mary throughout the year. We learnt lots!
Maths - We have worked very hard on our symmetrical patterns!
Geography - We used Atlases today to locate some of the world’s longest rivers, and placed them on our own maps!
PE - We continued our fantastic tennis work with Mr Irish today!
French - Today we learnt how we say lots of different sports in French, and took our learning outside by playing games of charades! We then shouted out the answers in French, using our new key vocabulary brilliantly.
DT - What a fantastic morning! We used all our techniques from previous lessons, and sewed our Egyptian collars, using cross stitch, running stitch and appliqué. We showed a brilliant positive attitude, even when we found it a little tricky, and our finished products are amazing!
RE - Today we worked with Year 5, using the Chromes to research the organisation “Expect the Unexpected”, and how they follow in Jesus’ footsteps.
English - We looked at our new class book today, called The Whale. We loved looking through the fantastic illustrations, and we drew our own story maps to retell the book!
Maths - We enjoyed going onto the playground to learn all about different turns. We explored what clockwise and anti-clockwise means, as well as quarter turns, half turns, three quarter turns and a full turn.
Science - We emptied out the music cupboard to explore what ‘high pitch’ and ‘low pitch’ means, and what kind of shapes and sizes create those pitches. Next, we explored the different pitches our rulers made, and how the shape impacts the pitch. We then discussed what their sound waves would look like, and enjoyed copying these movements with our arms!
Maths - We have completed our final lesson on Time, where we answered a range of tricky reasoning and problem solving questions, converting 24 hour time to 12 hour digital time! We have worked so hard with this, and whilst it was something we found a little tricky, we never gave up! Excellent effort Year 4.
DT - Today, we very carefully cut out the base of our Egyptian collar, as well as all the patches we will use for our appliqué. We used the designs that we created last week to guide us, and used special scissors to help us cut through the material. We persevered when we found it a little tricky, showing excellent resilience!
English - Last week, we worked very hard to write our own free verse, persuasive poem about endangered animals. Today, we performed them in small groups, and then to the class, focusing on our fluency, pace and expression.
History - This afternoon, we have designed our own Ancient Maya city states, carefully considering where the palace, plaza, pyramids, temples and farms would be. We had some fantastically detailed maps!
History - We took on the role of archivists, and explored a range of Ancient Maya inventions. We sorted and categorised them, whilst discovering how we still use them today!
PE - As part of our multi-skills unit of work, today we developed our ball control, taking part in lots of different activities.
Maths - We worked hard this morning to convert times from analogue clocks into digital clocks.
DT - We started off our new DT topic by learning how to sew! We worked on our running stitch, cross stitch and appliqué, ready to create our own Egyptian collars later on in the term. Well done Year 4!
PE - Tennis in the sunshine!
Science - We explored how sounds travel through different mediums today, as we travelled around our vibration stations! We took part in a variety of activities, such as understanding how string telephones work, exploring the phrase ‘keep your ear to the ground’, using a glass against a door to hear the other side, and putting our heads on our desk and scratching the other side. We had a brilliant time!
Music - We were lucky enough to take part in a ukulele lesson today, taught by a specialist music teacher! We will have this every week, and we can’t wait to see how much we improve.
RE - After listening to the scripture John 20, we each drew a scene from the story on a paper plate. We then put all the paper plates together, to create one big picture, showing the resurrection of Jesus!
English - We started rehearsing for our poetry performance today! We worked in small groups to learn a section of Brother Eagle, Sister Sky, focusing on our fluency, expression, pace and volume.
Computing - Today we programmed our screen turtle to move in different directions!
Maths - We started our Money topic today by getting out our pretend coins to help us create different amounts, and add two amounts together! We worked very hard and improved our understanding a lot.
