Year 4 - Summer 2 - Week 4

Date: 27th Jun 2024 @ 12:03pm

So much fun and games this week as we celebrated Sports Day!

To kick start the week, we considered how religions carry out their prayer. After identifying that prayer mats are used inside mosques, we considered what our prayer mat might look like using symbols and colours special to us.

We have continued to be inspired by the story ‘Blue John’ when writing and have loved delving into the four chapters we have read so far. We considered what we might see and hear if we were the child dancing in the cavern with Blue John and incorporated the use of similes to describe what our senses would experience. Later, we moved on to creating an explanation text to outline how Blue John was created using Geographical vocabulary associated with the aspects of a cave.

In Maths, we recognised the difference between quadrilaterals identifying what parallel lines and the name of 3D shapes. We focused on how many faces and edges 3D shapes have before moving on to look at interrupting pictograms.

We also enjoyed a visit to the Scholastic Book Fair this week and were delighted to find some fantastic reads to go back and purchase.

What a fantastic Sports Day full of laughter and smiles! Thank you to everyone who attended and made it a day to remember. We truly had the best time racing and the joy on our faces was clear to see.

Of course, another highlight was our return visit to Laurel’s Wood. We were delighted to return and learn more outdoor skills whilst putting those we learnt last time to good use. We were thrilled to be able to build different types of dens and even toast marshmallows on a fire!

Have a lovely weekend, Year 4!
