Welcome to Year 4 

Mr Woest

Our Value for the term is Truthfulness

We started a bit later this week, but the children have really enjoyed their first couple of days back. They are very excited for the rest of the term. The weather has been a bit rainy, but we’re still in good spirits and keen to get out onto the field as much as possible.

In English, we are becoming Eco Warriors, determined to save the planet. We are immersing ourselves in the world of our favourite superheroes, thinking about the powers they might have and how they can tackle problems such as environmental damage and global warming. The children are putting in a fantastic effort, and we will begin writing our stories next week.

In maths, we are focusing on position and direction. This links nicely with our work in PE, where we are exploring orientation. The children are really enjoying plotting different points on a grid and are doing very well—future navigators in the making!

For our topic this term, we are working on our recorder skills. The children are making some lovely music and are learning the song “In the Jungle, the Mighty Jungle, the Lion Sleeps Tonight.” You may hear a few enthusiastic performances at home—apologies in advance if it gets stuck in your head!

Our national multiplication tables check is coming up next week, so we are doing our very best to get prepared and confident for the test.

Enjoy the weekend
