Year 4 News

This week in maths, we have started our new unit on money and have been learning how to convert amounts between pounds and pence and ordering and comparing amounts of money. In English we have started our new unit on writing a newspaper report about the Beowulf attack and have looked at the features of a report, sequenced the events in the story of Beowulf and have written our headlines and orientations. For our independent writing this week, we wrote diary entries as King Arthur on the day of his coronation, using the present perfect tense. In Topic, we have looked at counties within England and in Science, we have finished our lesson on how sounds are made. On Friday, we had Refugee Day and have learnt what a refugee is and why they become one, showing empathy and respect towards them.
