This week in Year 4

What a fun and busy week it’s been in Year 4!

In English, we’ve been designing our own ‘extreme mountains’! The children got creative, imagining towering peaks and dramatic landscapes. Afterward, they planned and began to write non-chronological reports about their mountains, describing their landscapes, wildlife you may encounter as well as any dangers you may face.

In Maths, we kicked off our unit on fractions. We’ve been learning how to represent fractions in various ways and practicing how to count beyond 1. The children have been using visuals and hands-on activities to make sure they really understand this important concept.

In Geography, we’ve been exploring topographical maps, which show us the heights of land using colour keys. It’s been exciting for the students to see how different landforms, such as mountains and valleys, are represented on maps.

In Art, we’ve been experimenting with different painting techniques, including dabbing. The children had a lot of fun learning how to use this technique to create texture and depth in their artwork. It’s been a great way for them to express their creativity and develop new skills.
