We’ve had an interesting and varied week here in Year 4. On Monday, our whole school assembly focused on the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and on Wednesday, children perfectly observed a two-minute silence at the end of our remembrance assembly. We have also enjoyed a live lesson from renowned poet, Michael Rosen, as part of Michael Rosen Day and we have finished the week by celebrating Children in Need.

Elsewhere, we have been working hard in other areas of the curriculum. Adults were hugely impressed with the end of unit assessment scores in our maths unit on ‘area’. It was also great to see the progress in our arithmetic. In geography, children investigated different types of defences that are used to protect coastal areas from the impact of erosion. As we used drama to understand the different environmental factors that can cause coastal erosion, there are clearly some budding actors in our Year 4 classes. Our new science unit on ‘sound’ started with an understanding of the different parts of the ear and next week, we will move onto looking at how we hear different sounds. 

Congratulations to 4H who won the Year 4 Battle of the Bands in a very closely fought competition and a big well done to Lottie B, Khairat B, Willow D (all 4H), Everleigh E, Liesha A and Zach T (all 4P) who were the top 3 scorers across each class. The participation was high across both classes which was great to see as we continue our preparations for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC).

Special Mentions:
Well done to Zsak B in 4H, and Autumn T in 4P who were awarded special mentions this week for their hard work and attitude to learning.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope you have a lovely weekend!
