This week in Year 4 we were writing instructions based on our book. We had to plan what we would take on our trip and the instructions we would need to follow to have a successful journey.
This week in Year 4 we have been learning about developing games. In order to create our own maths game we needed to do some research. We therefore decided to play some maths games on the iPads to gather ideas of the games we could create. This was really fun. We then created...
This week in Year 4 we have settled into our new Spanish topic. We are learning how to introduce ourselves in Spanish and how to express our feelings. It was fun having conversations with our friends.
The children in Year 4 spent some time on Thursday morning with their new teacher for Year 5 - Mr Spalding! We really enjoyed being in our new classroom and sitting on bigger chairs at bigger desks! Miss Long came in and said that we already looked the part! We completed an activit...

Year 4's new book this half-term is the wonderful "Boy at the back of the class" by Onjali Q. Rauf. Already the children have written pieces of work about the characters in the story, a diary entry as a character and questions that they want to know the answers to, such as...
In MFL this half-term, the children in Year 4 have been learning the names of classroom items in Spanish. They are able to say what they have in their pencil case - and what they don't have. We enjoy playing a game of bingo at the end of the lessons too!
Year 4 are continuing to make great progress in learning their times tables and the picture shows a selection of TTRS papers the children have completed. We enjoy listening to music as we rock out and try to answer 60 questions in three minutes - that's 3 seconds per question!
