Internal Visit from Benjamin Franklin House - Rescheduled - TBC
The Human Body – Pupils learn about the history of the bones that were discovered in the Benjamin Franklin House basement and their role in the history of medicine. Pupils will focus on the human skeleton to successfully identify the major bones of the body. To consolidate their learning, each pupil will then create their own diagram of the human skeleton to take home or go on display in the classroom!
PE - Tuesdays with Morris and Wednesdays with Class Teacher
Homework - Due in on the 11.06.2025
Maths:
At the beginning of the week, we focused on finding the fraction of a given number i.e. ¼ of 12. We did this by representing it as a bar model before knowing to divide the given number by the denominator. We then learned that non-unit fractions are composed of more than one unit fraction i.e. We need two unit fractions (⅓ + ⅓) to make the non-unit fraction, ⅔. At the end of the week, we looked at different examples and identified the unit-fraction it represented i.e. ⅖ of the frogs are on the log.
English:
On Monday, we were introduced to our new text which is ‘The Colour Collector’ by Roger McGough. Did you know Roger McGough is from Liverpool and he used to play in a band called The Scaffold with Paul McCartney’s brother? As the focus of the poem is colour, we started focusing on exotic colours; instead of using colours such as red, black and green, we used crimson, obsidian and juniper. We finished the week by focusing on the rhymes in the poem and brainstorming words that rhyme.
PSHE:
In PSHE, we discussed what a healthy diet is and what are the benefits of eating different food groups. We know in the UK, the NHS recommends us to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day but in France they recommend you to eat at least ten. On Friday, we performed different yoga poses to help us relax.

National Multiplication Tables Check
The multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for all Year 4 pupils in England.
The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.
The following website is a great tool to help children get used to the layout and timings of the test: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
