Year 4 - Spring 2 - Week 4

Date: 18th Mar 2026 @ 1:21pm

We’ve had an exciting week packed with thoughtful discussions, creative activities and memorable experiences.

We got crafty in RE this week, making a cross to represent Jesus’ resurrection and adding story cards to sequence the Easter story, highlighting the moments of truth and betrayal.

We loved our Collective Worship discussion about Pokémon and the reminders from the Bible to pursue activities that bring joy, and to be kind and respectful while we have fun.

In English, we focused on the thoughts, feelings and dialogue a villager in our story might experience. We created a Bridge Map with the support of some fantastic “villagers” in our classroom, who role‑played the part to support our writing. We also deduced from a given text the spelling, punctuation and grammar features that should be present in our work, and explored the power of using different nouns and noun phrases to enhance our writing.

Continuing our focus on fractions, we explored different ways to represent a mixed fraction and how this links to an improper fraction. Our attention then shifted to adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator, before securing our understanding using the Learning by Questions website. Next week, we will begin developing our awareness of decimals and their relationship with fractions.

We were thrilled to be given the opportunity to visit the British Gymnastics event at the M&S Bank Arena. We left feeling so inspired by the professionalism and sportsmanship on display.

Red noses filled the classroom on Friday as we completed lots of fun, red‑themed games in aid of Red Nose Day. Our mission was to come together to raise smiles in recognition of helping others through tough times. We certainly had the best afternoon.

Have a wonderful weekend, Year 4!
