Relative Clauses
In Grammar this week, Y4 learnt all about relative clauses! This is a particularly tricky part of Grammar, however Y4 showed a great deal of enthusiasm in this lesson, with some children even including some relative clauses in their independent writes later in the week! Super work Y4!
Super Subtraction!
This week, Y4 have consolidated subtraction using column method. We have found this a bit tricky previously however it was wonderful to see so many children make some great progress with this important skill. Keep up the super maths work Y4!
Super Science!
This week, we started our brand new topic entitled ‘Living things and their habitats’. This week, Y4 learnt all about the different characteristics that make an organism living using the acronym MRS GREN to help us remember each of the seven criteria. We were then challenged to research our…
Place value consolidation
Today in Maths we have been consolidating our knowledge of subtracting and adding 1s, 10s, 100s and 1000s. Year 4 have really impressed us with how well they have showcased their understanding in this topic. Well done Year 4!
Our final Y4 Writing text!
This week, Y4 have been introduced to their final Y4 text entitled 'The Boy at the Back of the Class'. So far, we've read the first 3 chapters and Y4 have thoroughly enjoyed it! We have started our preparation for our next independent write which will be a diary entry from the perspective of the…
Remarkable writing

Tricky Time
In Maths this week, we have started our new topic on time. Year 4 have found time rather tricky but have shown fantastic resilience in their maths lessons. At the beginning of the week, we focussed upon telling the time to the hour and to 5 minutes, this has now become a strength in year 4. Keep…
Cool Computing!
Y4 were really excited to be back on the laptops and building their skills in using 2Logo. This week, we learnt how to use the ‘Repeat’ command to create a range of 2D shapes. Some children even managed to use this command to make a ten-sided shape and a circle! Keep up the enthusiasm for…
Superb Science!
This afternoon in Science, Y4 made drums out of classroom objects to investigate sound vibrations. We worked in groups and placed rice on our drums and observed to see how much the rice moved when tapping the drum with a different amount of fingers each time. This was a great way to explore the…
Costal Habitats!
This week in Geography, we have learnt all about different coastal habitats. Y4 were really interested in the different habitats especially a coral reef (as you can find stingrays here) and rock pools (where you can find a species of manatee). Keep up the super Geography work…
Marvellous maths
This week in Maths we have finished off our learning all about translating and describing coordinates on a grid. Year 4 found this difficult at first as this required a lot of focus to count each square. But then towards the end of the week year 4 have shown incredible resilience and have produced…
Sensational story telling
This week we have started to prepare for our independent write which will be a narrative retell of Lilia's quest to meet Razvani. We have focussed upon extending sentences in a variety of ways through using a range of conjunctions, fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases. Year 4 have showed a…
