Year 4 News

This week has been a very busy and enjoyable one in Year 4. We have finished our unit on length and perimeter and have started our new maths unit on fractions having recapped on the difference between unit and non-unit fractions. In English, we have been writing more journal entries for our character Marcy from Mary and the Riddle of the Spinx and have written examples of speech which will help us when writing our own stories. We also had an independent write this week with our writing stimulus linked to our Mayan topic. In Spanish, we went over our colours and we also resumed our swimming lessons after the half term. On Thursday, we enjoyed World Book Day and had the opportunity to develop our oracy and storytelling skills and really get to know our characters from our favourite books. On Friday, we split into our different houses and have been taught about various different aspects of science under the theme of 'Change and Adapt'.
