Welcome to Year 4 

Mr Woest

Our Value for the term is Thankfulness

This Week in Class! 🚀✏️🧭🐾 10/10/2025

Maths:
This week, we’ve been rounding our way to success — quite literally! The children practised rounding numbers to the nearest 100 and 1,000, and we finished with a blast by playing Rocket Rounding! Everyone had a turn to launch a rocket into the air — maths really took off this week! I’m so proud of how hard everyone worked on their place value skills. 🚀✨

Literacy:
In literacy, we explored different story settings and discovered how our five senses can help bring writing to life. We did some fun role-play activities (with plenty of imagination on display!) and ended the week by doodling ideas for our upcoming narratives. There were lots of creative sparks flying — I can’t wait to see their stories next week! 📚🎭

Geography:
We travelled back in time to the age of the Vikings! 🛶 The children learned about Viking trade routes and why York was such an important place for them. Using atlases, they traced the trade routes across Europe and were amazed to see how far the Vikings travelled — quite the ancient adventurers! 🌍

Science:
In science, we explored changing environments and discussed what causes these changes. We looked at the different seasons and learned how animals adapt to survive — from hibernation to migration, our class is now full of mini nature experts! 🐻❄️🌸🌞

Times Tables
This week we practised our 4, 8s, and 10s in Times Tables—and guess what? We won the TT Rockstars competition of the week! 🎉 But we know we still need to keep practising all of our times tables every week.

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. 🏃‍♀️👟

Enjoy the weekend everyone.
