Year 4 - Spring 2 - Week 6
Date: 28th Mar 2023 @ 10:28am
We the end of the Spring Term upon us, we spent some time reflecting on our fantastic achievements and our goings on this week.
This term, we have been working hard to consolidate our knowledges of our times tables ahead of the Year 4 Multiplication Check. We have found that we learn our times tables best through games such as Battle Ships, Monopoly and Top Trumps. We also found a great resource which enabled us to make times tables fortune tellers which meant we could continue to practise our times tables at break times and through the school day.
It was time to take on our DT project, designing our very own greenhouses with a specific design criterion in mind. First, we explored a greenhouses’ function and the requirements it needs to have in order for the plants inside to grow. We identified the part of the greenhouse which allows the sunlight to enter and how we can ensure the plants do not overheat. In our design process, we outlined the materials and tools needed to create our greenhouses, how we will ensure we have a resealable opening and the colours and patterns we will use to decorate our product. After a great morning creating our designs, we then reflected on our successes against the design criteria and any areas of improvement we would note for next time.
On Friday we attended our Easter Service led by the fantastic Year 3 children. It was amazing to watch their performance and see their incredible acting and singing come to life. We did a great job supporting Year 3 with the lovely songs in our service and celebrating this wonderful time of the year.
There was only one way to end the term… with an Easter Egg Hunt! On the sound of the horn, we set off finding clues around the school which directed us to a teacher or classroom where the next clue could be found. We used fantastic teamwork and inference skills to deduce that the final clue led us back to our own classroom where winning Easter vouchers were awaiting our arrival. At the end of the day, we were able to exchange our voucher for an Easter treat!
What an amazing term we have had, Year 4. Go make some incredible memories with your family and friends this Easter and we look forward to seeing you back on Monday 17th April. Best wishes from us all x
