Wow, what an exciting half-term Year 4 has had! In Maths, we've mastered addition and subtraction, and even unlocked the power of inverse operations to double-check our work like pros.

We also had a a wonderful time celebrating Black History Month, where we discovered inspiring writers and trailblazers who have made incredible achievements. We're excited to dive into the next half-term, full of new adventures in learning! It’s been such a pleasure teaching Year 4 this term, and after all our hard work, we all truly deserve a well-earned break! |

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Bedfont Lakes for an engaging visit. The interactive workshop provided a wonderful opportunity to learn about various fascinating animals, including Larry and Garry, the giant African land snails, Mabel the tortoise, Tinsel the Australian bearded dragon, and Tricky the corn snake. The experience was both enjoyable and educational. In Mathematics, we have begun our study of addition and subtraction involving four-digit numbers, while in writing, we are exploring the first-person narrative. Each week, our students are making significant progress and gaining confidence in their abilities. |

This week, we have been enthusiastically diving into our Power of Reading text, Mouse Bird Snake Wolf. We’ve worked on retrieving key information from the story and expanding our vocabulary. In Science, the children found learning about living and non-living things fascinating, and in Geography, we’ve started exploring "Biomes". French was a highlight as we introduced the names of different body parts. During PSHE, we discussed what makes a great team and created personalised handprint decorations. I’m confident next week will be even more exciting with lots more to do and discuss. |

What a wonderful start we have had to Year 4. The children have been very excitable and enthusiastic to be back at school. We have had fun getting to know each other and also worked hard on classroom routines. In Maths, we did revision of our tables and had fun learning a new song to remember the three timetables. In English, we really enjoyed writing a Time Capsule letter to our future selves about our goals for the year and what we would like to learn by the end of the year. It was an awesome first week, and we are all really excited about the rest of the year and having fun while learning. |
