 Year 4 Class Update - Summer 2

What a wonderful end to Year 4 we’ve had!  The children excelled themselves during our two extended enrichment days, showing all our school values in the Romans Wow Day and at Walton Firs. We hope you enjoyed their performance of ‘Under the Sea’ as much as we did – they’ve continued singing their sea songs loudly each week at Swimming!

In English, we’ve read the Shakespeare Stories versions of ‘Julius Caesar’ and ‘Antony and Cleopatra’, linking to our History learning this year about the Ancient Romans and Ancient Egyptians. Our writing has been based on the ‘Mysteries of Harris Burdick’, leading to a mystery narrative of our own, inspired by one of the fourteen pictures.

In Maths, we’ve been measuring perimeter and area, identifying properties of 2-D and 3-D shapes and learning how to describe position using coordinates. We were impressed with how hard the children worked to speed up their times tables ahead of the Multiplication Tables Check and were very pleased with their results (which will be shared with you in the end of year report).

We’ve been investigating digestion, teeth and food chains in Science, following the journey of food through the human body. In Computing, we’ve explored data-handling by logging weather and creating weather forecasts. In RE, we’ve learned more about how Christians worship and we’ve considered how to make positive changes in PSHE. We’ve built on our running, jumping and throwing skills in PE. In Art, we’ve looked at Roman mosaics and designed and crafted our own mosaic tile.

We’ve really loved teaching Gingko this year and look forward to seeing all the children continue to smile and thrive in Year 5!

Have a lovely summer holiday!
