Year 4 - 20.09.2024

Happy Friday everyone! It has been lovely to see the sunshine and warmth back this week! Group 1 enjoyed their second session of Forest School whilst the rest of the class did some observational nature drawings.

In English this week the class have written their own part for ‘Leon and the Place Between’. We paused the book at the point that Leon enters a magic box and is transported to another world. The class then took over as they authors and wrote the next part of the text, until Leon returns to the stage.  I was very impressed with Year 4’s ideas and creativity! They have worked very hard over the [part two days recording these into narratives.

In maths, our place value journey continues with numbers to 10,000. We have been partitioning four digit numbers in different ways and finding 1, 10, 100 and 100 more and less than a number. We have then moved on to using number lines and estimating points on a number line. To help us estimate, we have been focussing on finding the midpoint between two numbers – this will also come in handy when we learn about rounding soon!

We hope you have a lovely weekend.
