Week 2

What a brilliant second week we’ve had together in Year 4!

In English, we have been busy practicing our expanded noun phrases. We used these to bring to life the beautiful scenery and fascinating characters from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We’re really enjoying our class novel, and it’s been exciting to use our inference and summarising skills to dig deeper into the story.

In Science, we explored the incredible journey of the digestive system. We learned how our food travels through the body, discovering each step along the way. It was fascinating to find out what really happens after we eat!

Week 1

What a brilliant start we’ve had to the new school year! This week, we reminded ourselves of our classroom and school expectations and even set some exciting targets as a class to help us earn our sheep points.

We were thrilled to dive into our new class novel, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. We’ve been busy making predictions about what Mr Tumnus might do with Lucy, as well as sharing our ideas about the mysterious White Witch.

In maths, Miss Knight-Francis is so impressed with us! We’ve shown fantastic understanding of place value and have been challenging ourselves with tricky depth questions—Year 4 really are amazing mathematicians.

In RE, we learned all about the story of Hanukkah and the importance of dreidels. The best part was getting to make our very own dreidels, which we loved.

What a fantastic way to begin the year—we can’t wait to see what comes next!
