Year 4

This week in Year 4…

This week in Year 4, the children have enjoyed another busy and exciting week of learning.

In Geography, we investigated some of the world’s longest rivers. The children used atlases carefully to locate them and learnt a range of interesting facts about each one.

In P.E., the children practised their forehand and backhand strokes, focusing particularly on the importance of racquet position. They worked hard to develop their control and accuracy.

In Science, we began our new component of learning all about sound. This week, the children explored how we hear sounds and began to understand the journey sound takes to reach our ears.

In Maths, our focus has been on angles and triangles. The children learnt how to identify acute, obtuse and right angles, before moving on to recognise equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles.

In Religious Education, we continued our focus on pilgrimage. This week, we looked in particular at Hindu pilgrimage to Varanasi and considered why this is such a significant place for many Hindus.

Well done, Year 4, for another fantastic week of learning!
