In Maths, we have been recapping and revisiting place value. We used a range of manipulatives to help us explore numbers and understand the value of each digit. Using practical resources helped us to see how numbers can be built, partitioned and represented in different ways.

We have also begun our new music learning with Mr Ash. We have started exploring Samba music and have been getting to grips with the rhythms, sounds and instruments involved. 

This week, we were all given an iPad to use in our learning for the entirety of Year 4! Before we got started, we talked about the importance of staying safe online and discussed some key internet safety rules. We thought carefully about what information we should keep private, how to behave responsibly online and what to do if something makes us feel uncomfortable.

We then put our knowledge into practice by playing ‘Interland’, an exciting internet safety game. We had lots of fun exploring the different challenges while learning important skills for being safe, kind and responsible digital citizens.

Wow what an amazing 3 days with the new 4C! This week has consisted of many conversations getting to know each other. We have found out so many interesting facts about each other!

As a school we have all made our own portraits and filled the background with doodles that represent us, what we like and who we are. These portraits will eventually be displayed with the school to represent our vision ‘One body of many parts’. 

Due to the hot and dry summer, the apples have ripened early! We all went out, chose an apple and then cut them up in the kitchen. We then got to taste test the different varieties of apples. 

At the end of year 4 pupils will be required to take part in a multiplication check. Just 10 minutes of TTRS (Time tables Rockstars) a day will make all the difference. Pupils should read for 20 minutes at least 3 times a week to support their learning in school. The more minutes, the merrier!

Have a lovely weekend everybody and rest up!
