Well done all for the hard work and dedication this week.

Well done to Amelia, who is our star of the week this week for her fantastic attitude to learning. She has asked for extra home work to pass her times tables, completed all English to a fantastic standard and been such a great role model to others with her behaviour.

We have been busy learning about place value in maths this week, a lesson in particular the children really enjoyed was 1/10/100/1000 more or less. We used resources to help us understand the concept.

This week in RE we have been understanding more about a Christian Wedding, with the focal point being the vows, the commitment and promise made.

In science, we have been learning how to group and class living things according to their characteristics: we used a classification key where we have to come up with our own questions.

Another wonderful week and we have been busy with many different lessons.

Pshe this week (for year 4) is based on online respect where we discussed many scenarios and how to deal with online bullying.

In English, we have been learning about Annie Taylor – the lady who successfully plunged over Niagara Falls in a barrel. On Monday we will be writing a character description. We have been using a dictionary to understand new  words for descriptions.

In Geography, we used maps and atlases to identify where in the world rainforests  are focusing on the equator and the tropics. We have also been learning the different between tropical and temperate rainforests and the climates of each.

PE this week was very active where children have been learning how tag in tag rugby, the children had to work with a partner to attack and defend their tags.

And finally in art, we have focused on an artist called Sol Lewitt, who creates are by following rules. This is called wall drawing  #118. 

Im exhausted just thinking about all the work we’ve covered and the fun we’ve had.
