Year 4 News

This week in Year 4 we have finished our English unit on writing a Viking-inspired narrative. We have also started a new unit on writing a newspaper report about Beowulf’s attack. In Maths, we have been finishing our unit on decimals and have been rounding them and converting them into fractions. In Science, we have started our new unit on sound and have learnt about how sounds are produced. On Thursday afternoon, we took a trip down to our local library to read and check out books and were lucky to be able to learn some of the basics of chess! We have also started our new topic on The British Isles and have learnt about the differences between the countries that make up Great Britain and the United Kingdom etc. and what constitutes the British Isles. We have now finished our torches and learn about Earl Sandwich as part of our next DT project; the man who the sandwich was named after.
