This week we started our new book, Tar Beach. We discussed where the story is set and the main characters. We then became speech detectives and looked for direct speech in the text. In Maths, we have been rounding. We learnt a rhyme to help us when rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. It was tricky but we were resilient and cracked it in the end.

Today, Year 4 were lucky enough to meet an artist and create some art work that will be going in an exhibition. We used photographs of our area to make a drawing. We then added colour using water coloured pencils. Our drawings were amazing and very eye catching. Well done Year 4!

Today, in Science, we investigated the effect sugary drinks has on our teeth. We predicted that sugary drinks would rot our teeth. We used orange juice, water, coke, Diet Coke and blackcurrant. We used eggs which represented our teeth. From the investigation, we found orange juice, blackcurrant and coke to have the biggest impact on our teeth. They turned the eggs a different colour and made the shell crack. We couldn’t believe how much sugar was in a bottle of coke!
W.B 15.9.25
This week we have been looking at flexible partitioning. The children used concrete resources to explore different ways of partitioning 4 digit numbers. This worked really well and gave the children a better understanding when they came to apply their knowledge to their worksheet. In Geography, we have continued our work on rivers and learnt about the different features. In English, we have created our own characters to include in our own legend writing next week. We are continuing to enjoy going swimming on a Friday afternoon. We have impressed Mrs Morris this week with our times table knowledge.
W.B 8.9.25
What a brilliant start to Year 4! The children have quickly adjusted to new routines and remembered our school rules and values! In English, we have begun our new story - The Mermaid of Zennor. We are intrigued to read more and find out about the mysterious happenings in Zennor. In Maths, we,ve begun looking at numbers to 1000. I’m very impressed so far with their maths skills. We have enjoyed learning about teeth in Science. Some of us found it very funny looking at our own teeth and learning the function of the different teeth. In Geography, we have looked at the water cycle. Amongst all of our busy learning, we still found time to enjoy our reading corner. It has lots of exciting new books to read.
