Year 4 Learning Blog

 

It has been another busy and exciting week in Year 4, with lots of learning, creativity and new experiences to celebrate!

Literacy

This week, we looked at expanded noun phrases, different clauses and descriptive writing, in preparation for our first independent write of Autumn 2.

Maths

In maths, we have continued to develop our skills in area. We have been using concrete objects to make shapes of different areas as well as comparing greater and smaller areas using the equality symbols and solving word problems related to area.

Science

We began our new topic - Changing States by investigating the different states of matter using balloons! The children had a frozen balloon, a water filled balloon and a gas filled balloon to answer true and false statements about the properties of each.

Ancient Greek WOW Day

On Tuesday the children were immersed in Ancient Greece! Through their learning they experienced what life would have been like. They read about Greek Myths and used role play to act out the story of the Trojan Horse. They also held a mini Olympics in the afternoon, taking part in relay races, throwing games and long jump.

Forest School

One of the biggest highlights this week was that everyone had the opportunity to experience our new topic in science through melting chocolate. The children saw first hand how chocolate changes state from a solid to a liquid when heated over the fire. As an extra treat, they got to taste the chocolate in liquid form!

Looking Ahead

Next week, we are looking forward to continuing our learning in all subjects. In Maths we will be moving on to our multiplication and division topic.

A reminder that we will be visiting the cinema on Thursday for a private screening of The SpongeBob Movie.

Well done Year 4, for another brilliant week of hard work, enthusiasm and creativity. We are very proud of you all!
