Year 4 Stars!

Maths

We are following the 'Maths - No Problem' programme in our maths lessons this year. During this half term, we will be continuing to learn about types of angles and use this information to help us classify triangles and quadrilaterals.

Following on from this, we will be exploring position and movement. We will be learning how to describe the positions of objects and figures on grids using coordinates.

English

Topic

This term our topic is 'Save Our Trees'. We will be identifying how rainforests have changed over time.

Science

In our science topic this half term, we will be learning about habitats and how changes in environments can sometimes pose dangers to living things.

Forest School

In our first forest school lesson, we discussed our forest school rules and played some team building games including ‘1, 2, 3 Where are you?’

In our next forest school lesson, we discussed the difference between human and man made items. We then went on a hunt to see what human and man made items we could find in our forest school.

This week, we have learnt how to tie two different knots in forest school! We looked at a clove hitch knot first and then used this to bind two poles together using a lashing knot.

Reading Poetry

In our reading sessions, we have been practising reading out loud with expression.
This poem is called 'What is Pink?'
It was written by Christina Rossetti.
