Year 4 have been extremely busy over the last few weeks!
In writing we began our new speech unit where we are focussing on the extreme damage caused by air pollution. To help us write or speeches we researched about air pollution, only to uncover horrifying facts and figures. We then worked in pairs and trios to order the facts and think of fronted adverbials to use with them. The children have used their passion and concern on the topic to help craft their amazing speeches which they now will begin rehearsing (we cannot wait!).
In maths we have been learning about fractions and how we can spot them in everyday life, finding parts of different wholes all around us. This then helped us when learning about unit and non-unit fractions. The whole of Year 4 has been extremely motivated in this topic and have embodied all our agents here at Windhill21. Well done Year 4!
We were also lucky enough to be involved in the Festival of Literature, where we enjoyed our zoom calls with famous authors and illustrators. This even inspired some children to start writing their own novels or to illustrate their favourite book!
