Year 4 have done a fantastic job of settling in these last 2 weeks and I am incredibly proud of how hard they have been working.
We have jumped straight into our learning for this half term. We have begun our shared reading lessons by reading ‘The Firework-Makers Daughter’ which follows our main character, Lila, on her journey to become a firework maker. We have made predictions about our text and have developed our summarising skills.
In English, we have been working towards writing a character description of Lila from our core text. We have been developing our skills of using possessive apostrophes as well as including similes in our writing. We have showcased our understanding by using these skills in a narrative before we write our character description next week.
In maths, we have been representing and partitioning numbers to 10,000, placing numbers on number lines and have looked at finding 1, 10, 100, 1000 more and less than a number.
In science this week, we have started our topic of ‘States of Matter’ and looked at different things that can be solids, liquids and gas. We also began looking at items that can change between our states and items that might have two states at once.
In history this week, we have begun our learning on ‘Invasions’.
We have started learning about ‘Islamic Art’ as part of our art learning this term. We have been focusing on recurring shapes and the patterns these make.
