Y4 News: Happy Easter!

We had a fantastic week together before half term in Y4. It was full of creativity, learning and laughter!

In Book Club, we spent the week reading aloud and choosing ew books to take home over the Easter break. We added on lots more points towards our reading challenge and even had someone receive a gold badge – well done, Emily! Remember that you can leave book reviews during the 2 week break, we can add your points on when we are back in school! We also completed our reading quiz on Monday. You all did so well in answering lots of different question types – well done!

In Maths, we wrapped up our unit on fractions. We learnt all about fractions of amounts and how to calculate them using cubes and drawings. We also completed our second Maths quiz in a reasoning paper. It was full of tricky problems, but we worked hard to achieve some fantastic results! Well done to everyone!

In English, we spent time copying up our fantastic biographies and completed two lessons on using direct speech. Our SPaG lessons helped us to recap the punctuation needed for when using speech, whilst we also used a range of synonyms for said to make our writing interesting! We continued to work on our spellings and handwriting throughout the week too...

In PSHE, Miss Holland helped us to discuss the idea of being kind online. We looked at lots of different scenarios and thought about what emotions we might feel in those situations!

In Music, we perfected our Tudor song and recorded some fantastic videos! I was so impressed by your singing and all your actions, well done team!

In Computing, our time was fully focused on our project work. We built upon our learning from last week's lesson and talked about the features of Google Slides. We then paired up and got straight to work. We added pictures, text, fonts, transitions and even hyperlinks! They are looking amazing!

In Worship, we spent the week watching all of the Easter Services. We loved seeing some familiar faces from across the school on the big screen and especially liked hearing the Easter message told in so many amazing, different ways.

On Thursday, we worked hard to completed some Study Work pages. It was fantastic to see all the Tudor learning come together, as we created a range of beautiful pages. We used our biographies of Queen Elizabeth, produced an art page around Hans Holbein and even used our Big Art project to help retell the War of the Roses. Wow, what a superb effort!

All that's left to say is that I hope you all have a fantastic Easter and have lots of fun!

See you soon,

Mr Dale
