We have had a lovely first full week in Year 4. The class have thoroughly enjoyed their first music session with Mrs Thomas and are looking forward to having music every Tuesday! With the drier weather, we have been able to get outside for PE and the Daily Mile, which has been great. PE days are Tuesday and Friday, but please can all children have their PE kits in daily.

In English this week, we have continued with our class text, ‘Leon and the Place Between’. We have spent some time reading and performing sections of the text, creating adverts and recapping speech punctuation. There are lots of rules to remember when writing direct speech and I have been impressed with Year 4’s effort and resilience with this!

In maths we have been looking at numbers and place value up to 10,000. We have counted in thousands and been representing and partitioning 4-digit numbers. The class used dienes, pictures and number sentences to partition these numbers in different ways and have applied this to lots of reasoning and problem-solving tasks.

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
