Blog for Friday 11^th October 2024

Year 4 have been continuing to work hard and have especially enjoyed their writing around ‘Arthur and the Golden Rope’ in English lessons. Using elements from the story, they planned and wrote their own adventure stories, placing themselves in the action and imagining a treacherous journey across a sea of monsters to retrieve a diamond from a cave. They thought carefully about their vocabulary choice and created three main plot points to bring their stories to life.

In science, the children used their knowledge of conductors and insulators to make their very own switches using a range of materials. They thought carefully about their design and demonstrated how they could open and close their switch. Then they checked that they were fit for purpose by using the equipment to make circuits using a choice of bulbs, buzzers and motors.

Maths lessons have been focussed on addition and subtraction. They have shown an impressive understanding of regrouping and exchanging with up to 4-digit numbers.

In recognition of Black History Month, reading workshops have been focussed on Rosa Parks making a stand for black people in 1955. Discussions about the importance of Black culture and history were very inspiring and thoughtful.
