Y4 Weekly Update!

21st Nov 2024

We have had quite the week in Year 4, and I am so proud with all of the effort that each child has shown, especially on Tuesday when the snow restricted things a little. In our mathematics lessons, we have been building up our understanding of multiplication. We spent some time working on different multiplication tables, making the links between multiplying by 10 and 100 and then we have put all this work into practice by using formal multiplication methods.

In our English lessons, we have used our senses to build up a bank of emotive and descriptive vocabulary to help us with our descriptive write - Charlie entering the chocolate factory!

Our new science topic is the digestive system, where we have begun with looking at our teeth and the different jobs that our teeth perform.

Then finally, in geography we are looking at the United Kingdom, and to support this we carried out an atlas task where we identified the major cities of the United Kingdom and recorded those on a blank map.

Well done, Y4!
