This week in Year 4
It's been another exciting week in Year 4, packed with engaging activities and learning across all subjects! Here's a glimpse of what we've been up to:
We’re nearing the end of our gripping tale of Beowulf, and the children have thoroughly enjoyed the action-packed and gruesome adventures of this legendary hero. They’ve loved exploring the old English language and the vivid descriptions of battles and monsters. It's been a great way to introduce them to a classic story!
In writing, the children have been busy preparing for their own newspaper reports. They've been conducting interviews and gathering quotes, which will help them create informative and engaging articles. It's a wonderful opportunity for them to develop their writing skills while exploring journalistic techniques.
In maths, we’ve been exploring lines of symmetry in different shapes and practicing drawing symmetric figures. The children have enjoyed this hands-on learning, using mirrors and drawing tools to create balanced and symmetrical designs. It's a fun way to see maths in action!
We look forward to another week of learning and growing together. As always, thank you for your continued support!
