Year 4 Weekly Review

Year 4 Weekly Review Spring 2 Week 2 03.03.25.25-07.03.25

We've had a fantastic week! Our highlight was 0n Tuesday, when we journeyed into the City of London to participate in a workshop on the North bank of The River Thames. There we mudlarked for bones, teeth, pottery and clay cigars while learning interesting facts about them as well as discovering the different era they were from. A fabulous time was had by all, with some even calling it the best trip ever. It was a pleasure to see parents and carers on Wednesday and Thursday to talk about our children and share their progress. The week ended on a high with reading activities enjoyed by all.

**English: The Creature - Independent Write**

In English this week, we recapped all that we have learned about the features of an exciting newspaper article, planned what our articles were going to be about and immersed ourselves in the world of reporters ensuring that our own articles were engaging. The children did a very good job and left us very impressed with their efforts.

Mathematics: Connection multiplication and division, and the distributive law

In Maths this week, we continued exploring the distributive law, focusing on how it applies to multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. Students worked on understanding how numbers can be broken down and adjusted when multiplied or divided, making calculations quicker and easier. It’s been a great week of building mathematical skills and getting more confident with these important concepts!

Toys From Home

Due to incidences in the playground, we have decided to prohibit toys from being brought into school from home. The children have a number of playground resources to use and structured games to play during break and lunchtime. We are looking forward to seeing the children making the most of these resources and enjoying their playtimes.
