Year 4 have kicked off our new English unit with the book, 'Escape from Pompeii'. This week, we have looked specifically at features of poems and have planned and written our own poem about the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, focusing on using interesting descriptive language. 

In Maths, we have begun our new chapter, 'Number and Place Value'. This week, we recognised the value of each digit in 4 digit numbers before comparing and ordering numbers up to 10,000. 

Our History topic this half term is, 'The Anglo Saxons'. We started the topic by focusing on why the Saxons invaded Britain. 

In our Science lessons this term, we will be looking at 'Animals Including Humans.' This week, we looked at each part of the human digestive system and described its functions. 

In our art lesson we made visual notes on 2 artists, Laura Carlin and Inbal Leitner.

Next week in English, we are continuing with the story, 'Escape from Pompeii'. We will be writing recounts of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

In Maths next week, the children will continue to develop their understanding of number and place value by rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.

In our second History lesson on the Anglo Saxons, we will exploring the features of Anglo-Saxon settlements.

As we continue with our science learning about human digestion, the children will be finding out why we have different shaped teeth in our mouths.

The children will be experimenting with charcoal in our Art lesson next week.
