Good afternoon everyone!
We've had another great week here in year 4. The children have been busy planning their soup recipes ready for an exciting cooking experience on Monday! It looks like I'll be buying all the vegetables in Aldi this weekend, so if you need any I'd go early!! We're really looking forwards to Monday; Master Chef here we come!!
The children are absolutely loving 'The Secret Garden'; they are totally transfixed when I read chapters to them. They were so excited to see the reveal of the actual garden; I'm enjoying seeing their reactions as much as they're enjoying the story. We do keep checking the facts in our book are correct by watching snippets from the film, but we're definitely reading it first (it's much more exciting that way)!! The children have written diary entries, character descriptions and are currently working on exciting descriptive sentences for the garden. They have worked together beautifully in small groups to create the most wonderful sentences. Below are just a couple of examples of the fabulous pastel drawings they have been creating this week.
History remains very interesting; this week the children learnt all about the Rainhill Trials, designed to find the best first steam locomotive back all those years ago. The children were so interested; they created brilliant newspaper articles on the trials or created a number of questions to use during an interview at the trials. We had a great afternoon.
In French, we have been learning how to count all the way to 100; focusing today on the multiples of 10 and solving number sentences!
We have been incredibly busy in maths; we have worked on fractions this week. We have added, subtracted, solved problems and even found the fraction of a number. The children have worked incredibly hard as some of the tasks have been very difficult.
Rugby and hockey continue to enthral the children. They have been focusing on attacking and defending in both. Today, in hockey we have progressed to playing mini games. The children have really impressed me, so next week we will certainly have a mini tournament.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. See you all on Monday morning,
Mrs Matthews, Mrs Scott and Miss Hewitt xx
