Yet again, we have had a fabulous week in Year 4! Children have all settled back into routines amazingly.

In writing, we have been learning the story ‘Keep off the tracks’. At the start of the week, we learned the story with actions. Then we focused on building M, and M & M sentences using colourful semantics.

In Maths, we have been focusing on place value and partitioning numbers. Today we concentrated on flexibly partitioning numbers to 10,000. Even though it was a tricky lesson, pupils all persevered and never gave up.

In our foundation subjects, we learnt all about teeth in Science and all about the Romans in History!

Important notes for next week:

Please come in your PE kit on Tuesday.

Reading books, moving forward, will be changed every Monday. If pupils finish their book earlier, they can be swapped during the week too.

We also celebrated being the class with the best attendance last week. Keep it up 4C and enjoy a wonderful weekend!

It has been lovely to see such great smiles every day in Year 4. I have really enjoyed getting to know everybody, and I cannot wait for the fantastic year ahead.

In writing this week, pupils have shown me their amazing drama skills while learning the poem “The Book” by Michael Rosen. Everyone was so enthusiastic and created fantastic actions to go along with the poem. It was such a joy to watch their creativity shine.

In maths, we have begun our place value topic and have been using Base 10 to represent and partition numbers up to 1,000. I was so impressed with the resilience pupils showed when working through reasoning and problem-solving questions.

In a times tables competition across the Year 4 classes, 4C won! I am so proud of the pupils, and we get to keep Tiny the Turtle until the next competition. Well done, 4C!

A couple of things to note moving forward:

PE days will be on Tuesdays, so please ensure pupils come to school wearing their PE kits. Reading scheme books will be handed out next week. I expect pupils to be reading at least three times a week and to be practising their times tables regularly on Times Table Rock Stars (TTRS).

Have a wonderful weekend, and I look forward to seeing 4C next week!
