Happy Friday everyone. The nights are drawing in and it is nearly dark as I type this.
Well done to everyone this week. All of the staff are really impressed with your hard work in all your subjects this week. You have been learning about longitude and latitude, we have talked about resilience and perseverance, we have heard the amazing story or Juliane Koepcke and worked on our Dig and Set in Volleyball. What a busy time!
You were all very impressive with your speed tables this week and we can see are huge difference in your results, so keep going.
Here are a few homework activities to work on over the weekend and into next week:
Mathletics, well done to Year 3 this week, and well done to us in Year 4 for coming second. Let's see if we can get the trophy back for our windowsill next week. We did have loads of Bronze and silvers and even a couple of Golds!
Spelling shed and your spellings please. Again your scores today were really impressive!
Here is a reminder of your spellings: boat float croak throat torn thorn park surf charm sharp
Keep reading and don't forget to get your book signed, so you can get a stamp on our chart.
and finally
Teams - There will be an activity set for you on Teams. Please log on and have a go at it.
Here is a photo of our lovely display in the classroom. You all worked really hard on your adventures last week and we thought that they deserved a mention. We had some wonderful phrases and words used and you all have such amazing imaginations. Keep it up!
Have a lovely weekend, keep safe and we shall see you all next week.
Love the Year 4 Team

Good morning everyone!
This week, our Adventure topic has led us to a lady called Juliane Koepcke. We have been finding out about her amazing survival story and have created some super biographies based on her life. If you haven't yet shared her story with people at home, please do!
The Bushcraft group took to the great outdoors to learn how to create fire pits and tripods; apart from a quick demonstration, no actual fire was involved (I'm not quite ready to write that risk assessment!). It was great fun and all of the children loved learning how to survive in the wild.
Well done everyone!
We will no longer be using the blog to communicate home-work. Home-work will now be set through Microsoft Teams We will inform the children in school of their homework tasks and encourage them to write in their planners. Please could we ask that planners are brought into school every day and that any reading at home is recorded in the reading section. Thank you.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and I will see you on Monday.

Hi Year 4.
We have had another super week. Lots of hard work by everyone. We have absolutely loved finishing our book Journey. We have another exciting book to look at next week that we are all sure you will love just as much.
We both loved seeing most of you on Teams last night too! What a lot of fun. It was great to have so many attend and join in. There were a few teething problems at our end, and I know that a few people had problems at your end. Hopefully we will iron out these technical hitches so that next time all will go smoothly, but we still enjoyed seeing your smiling faces.
You have all written your homework tasks in your planners. You have Mathletics and Spelling Shed to work on. Please don't forget to keep reading, we have had a few stamps on our chart in class, let's add a few more next week. You also have your spellings to work on too, alongside your times tables. I have also set you a task about bar charts on Teams. I hope that the link works. You are all working so hard. Keep it up as you are amazing us!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
Keep smiling and keep safe.
Love Year 4 Team

We have had another busy start to the week in Class 4.
This week's Bush-craft group designed and made teepees in small teams. The children are very proud of what they have created.
Our active maths sessions have also been working well. This week some of the children made use of the playground markings to help them learn their time tables. Lots of fun was had by all!
In English, we have nearly come to the end of our wonderful book. We have been learning how to add prepositions to our writing and have also written some super similes to describe what we could see in the pictures.
Your Mathletics homework is ready and waiting. This week we have been reading information from tables and bar charts and I have assigned tasks to help you with this. The Mathletics trophy is still in our classroom; let's keep it there!
I am looking forward to seeing you after school for our Teams meeting.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

What a lovely thing it was this morning, to be greeted by so much colour! So vibrant and fun. Well done everyone.
We have had a great week, starting off with our first session with Mike and our club at lunchtime. He was very impressed with you all and looking forward to what next weeks group will get up to. I love your shelters. They look very cosy and warm. You were also all really brave for all of the nurses this afternoon and your flu spray. Well done.
We have all been loving our new book in class and you have really impressed everyone with your enthusiasm and imaginations. We were also brilliant at our maths, all about perimeter and area this week, not to mention getting "our" trophy back from Mr C for Mathletics! He has challenged us though! Will we be able to keep it for another week? Unheard of, so I'm told.
So on to homework for the week, you have all written it into your planners. You have the usual - Mathletics, TT Rockstars, Spelling shed (I wonder if we can have a lead speller in our class?), reading (see if you can get a stamp on our reading chart), spellings (see below) and an activity on Teams.
Have a fun weekend, keep safe and keep smiling. Thank you for all of your hard work this week. I wonder what next week will bring?
Love The Year 4 Team
