Welcome to Year 4 

Mr Woest

Our Value for the term is Perseverance

This week in Maths, we wrapped up our learning on length and perimeter. The children worked incredibly hard on identifying shapes and recognising different polygons. We explored squares, pentagons, hexagons and many more — our classroom was practically a polygon party by the end of it! The children especially enjoyed calculating perimeters and discovering that Maths can be quite satisfying when all the sides add up nicely.

In English, we completed our Writing for Pleasure unit, Going to Africa. Each of us chose our favourite destination in Africa and wrote about the exciting adventures we experienced there. Some of us went on safari, spotting incredible wildlife, while others explored the rainforest. It’s safe to say we travelled far without even leaving our seats!

In Art, we finished designing our African masks. The children carried out lots of research to inspire their designs before carefully sculpting them from clay. They worked wonderfully creatively and are very much looking forward to painting them next term — we can’t wait to see the final masterpieces!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and restful half-term break — you’ve all certainly earned it!

Times Tables we are working on 7,8 and 12.
