Home Practice 27th May 2022
Welcome to the final blog of this half term. Here’s what we have been learning this week ….
In English, we planned and created our own cartoon strip which included narrative and speech bubbles. We are very proud of our first attempt at a cartoon strip and enjoyed sharing them with our partner.
In Maths, we started learning about time. Firstly, we revised o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Following this, we moved onto more complicated times, such as 19 minutes to 5 or 4.41am. Many of us have found time very tricky, therefore, please try and practise this daily at home.
In Music, we practised the National Anthem, Platinum Jubilee Song and, of course, YMCA. Then we played DEFinitely on the glocks and revised ‘What’s up’ from our last lesson. Finally, we began to learn a new piece of music called Dee Cees’ Blues.
In French, we designed and described a crown for the Queen. She would be very pleased with her new crowns, I'm sure! well done year 4
In Geography, we learnt that coasts are always changing, and some of the reasons why. Using some of this knowledge, we learnt how bays and headlands are formed.
In other news …. We had a fantastic Platinum Jubilee Celebration on Wednesday afternoon. Everyone looked fabulous in their red, white and blue clothes. Each class sang a song according to the decade they had been given. Year 4 gave a supreme performance of YMCA – you should all be very proud of yourselves.
As always, a very busy week in Year 4. Over half term, please continue to read every day, as well as practising any times tables you know you find especially tricky and telling the time!
Online Safety Update
This week, our update is focused on keeping children safe when accessing online content. A lot of platforms that our children use are dependent on uploaded content. Due to the sheer number of videos added to these sites, moderators find it almost impossible to stop all harmful or distressing content from reaching your phone or tablet screens. The guide below outlines ways in which you as parents and carers can limit the risk.
Have a lovely holiday – relax and recharge your batteries.
See you all on Tuesday 7th June for your last 7 weeks in Year 4!
Mrs Tipping and Mrs Dexter
