Year Four

The children had an excellent outdoor day this week. Our topic this term is the ancient  Maya civilisation. As part of our activities we created Gods eyes using natural materials and we also used our orienteering skills to help with our spellings.

This week in mathematics the children have been practising rounding 3 and 4 digit numbers to the nearest ten, hundred or thousand. They have enjoyed using equipment and number lines to support their understanding. 
 

Week Beginning 16th September 2024

We have had another excellent week of learning. In science we have been exploring different stated of matter and have begun to study the Maya civilisation in our history topic.

In English the children have continued to analyse the structure and language of our class text ‘the Whale’. In mathematics we are continuing to develop or place value and rounding skills to the nearest 10 and 100. The children have been exploring partitioning and representing 4-digit numbers.

The children have enjoyed beginning their topic on the Maya civilisation. They explored different types of masks used by the Maya people and had a go at designing and creating their own. Well done children for all of your hard work on this. 

On Friday, we celebrated the Blessed Virgin Mary's birthday that will take place on 8th September. The children took part in a prayer service and a wrote prayers to Mary.
