The end of term is upon us, our spirits are high and we have lots of reasons to feel proud of ourselves this term.
In Collective Worship, we considered all the times we have been courageous by facing your fears and showing strength in the face of adversity. We recognised how courage refers not only to physical courage but also to moral or emotional courage. As a class, we decided that our favourite courageous moment this term was our efforts to face our fears and enter the Bat Cave at Chester Zoo! In RE, we designed notice boards worth of stading outside our local churches. Our notcie boards promoted the special uses a church has, that enable our communities to come together.
We moved onto looking at time in Maths, reminding ourselves of how to read an analogue clock before moving onto converting and comparing different units of time. We identified how often a leap year and discussed how there are approximately 4 weeks in a month, although most months are slightly longer than this.
It was a joy to revisit some of our English books from Year 2 and look back at a piece of poetry we wrote inspired by the Matilda Musical song ‘When I grow up’. From Lamborghinis to flying off to space, our dreams had no limits! We adopted our poems from two years ago and changed the verses to include a more up to date focus on our future hopes and dreams, consider the hopes we have for others too. We used a repetitive pattern and the phrase ‘so that I’ to add justification for our hopes and dreams. Our poems are definitely worthy to be read aloud on the West End Stage!
In Spanish, we learnt the Spanish words associated with the items we use daily in the classroom and the equipment we need to support our learning. We learnt how we can use the phrase ‘Tengo’ to mean ‘I have’ and add the Spanish word for the equipment in front of us to finish the phase to explain to someone the things we have in our pencil class. Our focus turned to considering whether to use ‘un’ or ‘una’ and how ‘mi’ should be used if we are talking about an item that is mine.

Have a restful Half Term, Year 4!
