Welcome to Year 4 

Mr Woest

Our Value for the term is Trust

This week in Maths, we wrapped up our addition and subtraction topic — and I must say, we absolutely nailed it! From Tuesday, we set sail into the world of Area. We explored all sorts of shapes and had great fun counting the little squares inside them. Everyone was super successful — we now officially know what “area” means (and no, it’s not just “that bit over there”!).

In English, we began diving into our new storybook Fox. We learned all about foxes — those sneaky, cheeky little creatures who always seem to be up to something! The story made us all think Fox might be a bit of a trickster… but Mr. Fox has asked us to write an information text to show the world he’s not all bad. Challenge accepted!

In DT, the excitement levels are sky-high as we start planning our very own Viking ships! We’ve explored different ship designs and learned what makes a boat stay afloat (spoiler alert: it’s not magic, it’s buoyancy!). We’ve also been choosing the right materials to make sure our ships don’t end up as Viking submarines. We can’t wait to start building!

Times Tables we are working on 7,8 and 9.
 

PE Kit: We’ll continue having P.E. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so please make sure the kids are ready with PE clothes and sneakers. 🏃‍♀️👟
