Year 4 Newsletter

Unsurprisingly, Year 4 are not exactly winding down for the end of term! This week sees the launch of our exciting Vikingology books at Waterstones.  We have learnt to be authors through drafting, editing, typing and publishing our works, not to forget the amazing illustrations that we have done in the style of the renowned author Cressida Cowell.  We are sure you will agree that the 'Rogues gallery' that we have prepared ready for Waterstones looks like an achievement in its own right!  Another highlight of the last fortnight has been our performance poetry.  All three classes have enjoyed innovating and performing 'Jabberocky' by Lewis Carroll. New to year 4 this year, we have also been learning about sound in Science through a number of practical hands on activities.  Who knew that sound travelled so well though solids or that we could produce a full octave using only a few bottles and varying amounts of water? In maths, we have been preparing for year 5 by exploring place value up to millions.  Our favourite activity was 'Crooked Millionaire'...perhaps something that we won't quite aspire to during Aspirations Week!
