What have Y4 been up to?
Autumn
Week 5 - 29.09.25
As part of our English lessons this week, we started a narrative unit based on 'Charlotte's Web'. Before delving into some of the more tricky vocabulary in the text, we completed a Spider Web of Friendship in which each person passed the "web" to someone else in the circle and told them what made them a good friend. The end result was an intricate spiders web of kind words. Later on in the week, we learnt how to correctly use direct speech in our writing and are now feeling much more confident using inverted commas.
We had lots of fun playing mini games of tag rugby in PE this week. This allowed us to put into practise all the skills we have learnt so far.
Week 4 - 22.09.25
This week, we have been using the clip 'Lighthouse' from Literacy Shed as our inspiration in writing. We wrote diary entries in role as the lighthouse keeper explaining our dramatic evening.
In our Computing lessons we have been learning about adding content to websites. We talked about the advantages and disadvantages of adding content online and used the laptops to practise adding our own content.
Week 3 - 15.09.25
We have continued our PSHE lessons this week around the theme 'Being me in my World'. So far, we have learnt about being part of a class team and being a good school citizen. We will build on this next week when we learn about rights, responsibilities and democracy.
We had great fun in PE this week when we learnt about moving and dodging in Tag Rubgy.
Week 2 - 8.09.25
This week, we have started learning about Tag Rugby in PE. We had a fantastic first lesson where we learnt how to correctly hold the ball, pass to other players and catch the ball.
In Geography, we have been learning how to interpret an OS map and have used compass points to describe routes on a map.
Week 1 - 1.09.25
What a fantastic first week in Year 4! We have settled back into school life wonderfully and are looking forward to a fabulous first half term.
We have started reading our class text 'Charlotte's Web' and have written some lovely setting descriptions during our writing lessons.
During our maths lessons this week, we have been learning about the value of each digit in a 4-digit number and have started to practice rounding.
