Year 4 2021 - 2022

Weekly Round Up

15^th October

It was lovely to talk to you all at parent’s evening, hopefully at the next one we will get to meet in person.  Please remember, Mrs Williams and I can always be contacted via the class email.  This week, the children have been introduced to speech sandwiches in English.  We encourage the children to use these five steps in their independent writing to ensure that detail and description is not lost.  In Maths, we have continued with partitioning and also revised the greater than and less than symbols.  As part of our topic work, we looked at where the rainforests are located around the world and discussed their location around the Equator.  I have attached the children’s homework to this email, this is an extended homework task which does not have to been in until after the half time.  During the first half term, we have written two information texts, one on biomes and one on gorillas.  The children have now been asked to use these skills and write an information text on a rainforest of their choice.  I have given them all a sheet of A3 lined paper but if they prefer they can complete it on computer.  In Science this half term, we have been looking at food chains and food webs, considering how the removal of just one animal or plant from any of these can have a dramatic effect.  This week, we are beginning to study the teeth considering the different functions of the incisors, canines and molars.

We would like to say a big well done to the children this week, 95% completed their reading comment, all the children completed the majority of their ttrockstars and everyone brought in their homework.  Thank you all for your support with this and also for all your positive comments about them during parents evening.

Thanks

Mrs Boudier
