What an amazing fortnight! Year 4 have learnt news skills and resilience both at school and away at High Ashurst.

Year 4 have used 'Arthur and the Golden Rope' by Joe Todd-Stanton to write an exciting and informative newspaper article about the capture of Fenrir the Wolf.  We have practised using direct and reported speech and colons ready to use in our reports next week. 

In Reading, we have continued to read our book  How to train your dragon by Cressida Cowell. We have been using our summarising skills to find the main points of the text and construct a summary of a paragraph.

In Maths, we have been revising the 4 main operations addition, subtraction multiplication and division. We have also been using these in problem solving.

In Science, we have continued  with our new topic in which we have been exploring the viscosity of liquids. We recorded our experiment results as a graph and used it to make generalisations that helped form our conclusions.

.We have continued our History topic, Were the Vikings raiders, traders or settlers? We have explored the features of Viking long boats and how they allowed the Vikings to travel swiftly and to places other boats couldn't reach which helped with trading.

We had an amazing time in Week 4, whether we were at school or High Ashurst , we had fun, learnt to work as a team and build on our resilience and independence. At school, we made and decorated cakes, explored the forest school, crafted butterflies and completed quizzes. At High Ashurst, we completed team challenges, the challenge course, the climbing wall, woodland skills and high ropes. Memories have been made and a wonderful time was had by all.
