Welcome back to the final half term of the year (I can't quite believe we have arrived here so quickly!) and what a wonderful, sunny start we have had.
On Monday, we threw ourselves into a very messy but fun science investigation. We recreated the digestive system - I'll leave the final outcome up to your imagination!
There were lots of excited faces as well as a few disgusted ones during this lesson!
In PE, our warm-up involved drawing our own hopscotch games and testing them all out - great for the calf muscles (as I discovered later that evening!) The children also had great fun with their cricketing skills. Super bowling Year 4!
We have also started reading our new book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. It is a wonderful book and links perfectly to our Industrial Revolution topic.
The children have been really busy outside in the garden again, with Mrs Pearce. She really appreciates all of the children's hard work.
Well done Class 4!
End of the term! 28th May 2021

Sorry for the slightly delayed blog.
What a wonderful half term. It has been fabulous to hear all of your voices back in the classroom for a full half term.
We ended on a bang - literally - with our music lessons. You all became composers and musicians. The sound coming from our classroom and the glockenspiels was far more delicate than I expected so very well done.
We have also been learning some French this week and you all helped to create a wonderful display of words in French. Tres Bien!
Next half term is going to be full of excitement and fun hopefully. We also hope that it will be full of sunshine and smiles.
Have a great half term, rest well and we will look forward to seeing you all next week.

PS We will be checking in on our Mummies too!

Well we all wish that the weather would brighten up and become a little dryer and warmer. Fingers crossed for next week.
We are well on our way with our Canopic jars, but this might have to run into next half term, which I am sure the children will not mind at all.
We have been really busy this week with our maths and you are all impressing us with your times tables. These are coming on a real treat. Don't forget to keep having a go at those tricky ones. You are also impressing us with your Mathletics. We have kept hold of the trophy for the 4th week in a row. I wonder if we could wow Mr C and the rest of the school and have everyone one in the class getting a Bronze for after half term. How great would that be!
The children have also been learning all about working out the area of shapes too. See if they can show you how to do it!
Have a wonderful weekend and do not forget that it is a short week next week and you get the Friday off!
Have fun and keep safe

Happy Friday everyone!
We have been immersed in all things Egyptian this week. Our minds are full of facts about Tutankhamun and the discovery of his tomb. We have used all of this information to write some non-chronological reports.
Well done for continuing to learn your times-tables; keep it up, a little practice each day will go a long way!
On Wednesday we were very lucky to take part in an author event organised by Read in Holmfirth. We met Tim Tilley, the author of Harklights, currently children's book of the month in Waterstones. He told us all about how his childhood in the woods inspired him to write this fabulous story. The book looks wonderful and I'll certainly be purchasing a copy.
We have also created some amazing art work based on the headdresses worn during Ancient Egyptian times. The photos will follow next week on their own special blog!
Well done to everyone for keeping the Mathletics trophy for another week. Let's make it a month next week.
Have a wonderful weekend and keep working hard. We are all really proud of how much effort you are putting in at home and it is being noticed around school too. Well done.

Yet another amazing week in Year 4. You have worked hard on your times tables and multiplication and we have really noticed this. keep it up. I also need to mention the amazing Mathletics from you this week. We have kept the trophy for another week. I wonder if we can go for a run of 3?
We have been continuing our work on the Ancient Egyptians and this has flowed over into our Literacy, when we have been taking notes about King Tutankhamun. What an amazing hoard of treasure was found 99 Years ago!
Our Canopic jars are coming on a treat, as are our Egyptian Headdresses. In PE we have had our coach in and despite the weather (rain and hail) we have begun to learn some batting and bowling skills in cricket.
The children have been busy in the gardens again with Mrs Pearce. Lots of planting and digging going on now. We can't wait to see how things grow.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone. Don't forget that your homework is on Teams (including your spellings) and you have two Mathletics assignments to work through, so have a go and keep up with your times tables. You are impressing us!
Have a lovely weekend, keep safe and we will see you all next week.
