Summer 1

The year 4 children have had a super half term.

The children have enjoyed learning our warning story ‘Icarus’ and have learnt some new grammar skills, which they applied in their own warning story.

Year 4 have shown that they are independent in maths when learning about money and time. They have explored real money, totaling amounts, working out change and solving word problems.

The children have really enjoyed their geography unit which focused on the question ‘Is it the same time in every country around the world?’ We explored the different time zones, as well as looking at why the Diomede Islands are so special.

Year 4 have been learning about God’s wonderful world in science. We have been inquiring about habitats and deforestation.

The children have enjoyed learning about electrical systems in DT. They explored some torches and then planned, built and evaluated their own.
In RE, the children have been independent when learning about the church, its features and purpose.
