Year 4 we 23rd November

Hi All,

Next week in English,  we will be starting a new topic on explanatory texts and instructions.  The children will be linking this work to their science.  We will be looking at the water cycle. 

The class seem to be really enjoying the cross curricular work in English; The Sea-thing child – Poetry, Nobel Peace Prize winners – biographies, Mountains – non chronological reports and now explanations with the Water Cycle.  It definitely makes the learning more ‘sticky’.

In maths, the children will be working on addition and subtraction of larger 4 digit numbers and using formal methods for this. 

In the afternoons we will be continuing our work on mountains – the children will be continuing with their models.    We will also continue our science topic for this term, which is ‘states of matter’.  This week we will be exploring the world of gases.  We will be rehearsing the carols for the Christmas carol service this week again. 

See dates at the bottom – there is a lot coming up before Christmas.

Highlights for the children this week

  • Making my mountain model
  • Swimming
  • 5 mins reading
  • Creating my Mt Everest report on the computer
