Please find examples of our SPaG and guided reading sessions, a fabulous spontaneous poem and a show and tell of books of some of the extraordinary women we are learning about in English. We started learning about Michelle Obama and found new unknown vocabulary, discovered her talents and professions and also what sort of personality she must have to be such a high achiever and so well liked. Well done Year 4!
Oh and watch this space for a show case of Roman Chariots next week! Happy weekend! Miss Chalcraft, Miss Bennett and Mrs White English: In English we are learning about biographies (layout and presentation) and famous women. Our class text is 'Great Women who have Changed the World by Kate Pankurst'. If you have a copy at home, feel free to bring it in.

Dear All, here is your homework for this week coming - some will be printed off and popped in your homework books.

Maths Maze puzzle see below and see the NRich link for how to and for maths if you choose - NRich Thank you, Miss Chalcraft, Miss Bennett and Mrs White Meet Harrison and Jeff ... our new characters from our own story version of a favourite of ours from the Book of Hopes. What a super week of writing, number lines, Romans, electricity, tennis in the sun and much much more! Super effort all round Year 4. Happy Weekending, Miss Chalcraft, Miss Bennett and Mrs White Dear Parents,
Please follow this link for the Year 4 Homework for this week. The homework will be set every Wednesday, to be completed in homework books. Homework will be due in on a Monday usually, but as they are late coming home, collection day will be Tuesday next week. We will mark and go through the homework together in class. Electrical Safety in YOUR home link This week, there is a spelling recap, two small maths questions for place value that consolidates work we have been doing this week and a Science question. If your child has a Nessy or IDL account, please make this a priority and this can take pace of homework, or be an addition if you feel you would like to. Any questions please ask, as always reading everyday is encouraged and if you need any book reviews let me know and I can send some home. Thank you so much, Miss Chalcraft, Miss Bennett and Mrs White The children have said that their highlights this week were watching 'Where the Wild Things Are' (linked to our Book of Hopes written work), drawing mosaic patterns linked to Romans and best of all, Science! Making circuits with bulbs and motors ... that worked in many combinations! Well done Year 4!
Hope is:
'I think HOPE is if you wanted to get something, like a pencil case, it would be - I hope I get one' 'It is when you want an object, it is a happy thing, makes you feel happy' 'It is about hoping not to get hurt' 'It is a wish, a want or a need' 'It is something positive' The Romans We found out that The Romans really improved Britain when they invaded. 'We talked about toilets and baths yesterday!' 'Did you know they all went to the toilet together for a chat?' 'They watched gladiators fight with wild animals for fun!' Yikes! 'They built straight roads so no one hid around a corner to surprise them' |
