Happy Friday Year 4

Happy Friday, everyone!

Well, what another busy week we have had in Year 4! We have certainly managed to pack lots into our week and have been working incredibly hard across all our subjects. Busy, busy, busy!

In Maths, we have completed our focus on bridging, using number lines and our steps to success to help us solve different calculations. We have been working hard to build our confidence and explain the steps we have taken to find our answers.

In English, we have been busy innovating our story, It Fell from the Sky. We have chosen our new characters and decided on a new and wonderful object that will fall from the clouds! We have completed our box-up plans, including some fantastic picture doodles to help us organise our ideas. We are now ready and raring to go with our Big Write next week. We can't wait to see how our stories unfold!

In Book Club, we have enjoyed performing our first Viking poem, thinking carefully about how we use our voices to bring the words to life. We have then moved on to our second poem, exploring the use of kennings and discovering how these clever descriptions help to create pictures in our minds. We have also been working hard on our Handwriting, paying particular attention to forming our diagonal joins correctly.

We have enjoyed our second Wellbeing Champions session with Thrive this week. We have been thinking about how we can make choices that help us feel happy and how our actions can bring happiness to others too. We even managed to put some of these skills into practice during our active sessions outside!

Our afternoons have been just as busy! We have enjoyed Art, Music, PE, Computing, Science, Wellbeing, PSHE, Geography, RE and, of course, our weekly visit to Friendship Terrace.

This week, however, we decided to knock on our very own Year 4 door! We have been discussing a playground game called Chaos Tag, which has been causing a few upsets at breaktimes. We thought carefully about how some players have been acting as friendship blockers rather than friendship builders and discussed what we could do to make the game fair and enjoyable for everyone. Our next job is to work together to create a set of rules so that everyone can have fun. Some fantastic, thoughtful discussions, Year 4!

What another fantastic week! We have all worked extremely hard and I am very proud of each and every one of you.

Have a wonderful weekend!
