This week in Year 4…
This week in Year 4, the children have continued to show great enthusiasm and curiosity across all areas of their learning. In Science, we have been exploring food chains, with a focus on key vocabulary such as producers, consumers, predators and prey. The class has enjoyed discussing how living things depend on one another within different ecosystems and have shown a growing confidence in using this important scientific language.
In Geography, we have been identifying the counties within the East Midlands and learning about some of the features that make each one unique. The children have demonstrated a keen interest in the diversity of the region and have begun to make thoughtful comparisons between different areas.
Our English lessons have been inspired by Leaf by Sandra Dieckmann, with the children writing their own imaginative diary entries. They have worked hard to capture emotion and perspective in their writing, producing some thoughtful and engaging pieces.
In Computing, we have been developing our understanding of sound, focusing on inputs and outputs in technology. The children particularly enjoyed recording their own voices and have begun editing these recordings as they prepare to create their own podcasts.
In Maths, we have continued our work on decimals, with a focus on rounding to the nearest integer. Alongside this, the children have been practising their times tables regularly in preparation for June, showing determination and a positive attitude towards improving their recall.
We are also very much looking forward to performing our Year 4 assembly this coming Friday and can’t wait to share our learning with you all!
