Welcome to Class 4's page! 

Homework will be given out every Friday and should be returned the following Thursday. The homework will be based on what we are currently learning in class, helping the children to consolidate and reinforce their learning. Reading books are also due back every Thursday so we can swap them for a new one.

We have been super busy in Class 4 this week, especially in maths! The children have been practising using less than and greater than signs, ordering numbers in ascending and descending order and rounding to the nearest 10. In addition to all of this, the children have continued to practise their times tables, constantly pushing themselves to become fluent. They had so much fun playing times table bingo. Well done Year 4! 

In history, we are continuing our topic on the Celts. On Monday afternoon, the children stepped into the role of Celtic children and wrote diary entries to recount their day as a Celt including their routines, chores and meals. In RE, we are learning about Sikhism and this week we explored their place of worship – the Gurdwara. We spent time thinking about what makes it such an important space for the Sikh community.

This week, we had the chance to meet our new music teacher Lizzie! The children practised clapping along to the beat of some songs and then had the opportunity to play the beat on the chime bars.  Maths has been quite challenging this week but the class have been working incredibly hard. We have been using counters and place value charts to find 1, 10, 100 and 1,000 less and exchanging one hundred for ten tens where needed.  In English, we have been exploring a range of poems including acrostic, limerick, kenning and cinquain poems. The children have created some amazing poems so far and it has been great to see the amount of creativity and enthusiasm in their writing!

On Monday, we celebrated Roald Dahl Day! We talked about his life and some of the books he wrote and the children loved sharing which of his stories they had enjoyed reading. Inspired by Roald Dahl's book George's Marvellous Medicine, the children each created their own marvellous medicine. They had so much fun making disgusting medicines and reading them out to the class. They did such a great job! 

In Science, we continued our topic of Living Things and Their Habitats by taking an adventure to our school pond to see what insects and animals we could find. We discovered all sorts of creatures and discussed their different habitats, as well as whether they were vertebrates or invertebrates.

The children have settled into Year 4 brilliantly and have been super busy! In maths, we have been exploring place value, focusing on thousands, hundreds, tens and ones. In English, we have been revising punctuation and grammar, as well as enjoying a scavenger hunt around the classroom to identify prefixes and suffixes. In history, we have started a new topic by learning about the Celts and Romans, while in science we have begun exploring Living Things and Their Habitats. In addition to all of this, the children have been enjoying both independent reading in our new reading corner and reading The Wild Robot during our whole-class reading sessions.
