Have a look around our class page and let me know what you would like to see on it.
Hello! Welcome to our class page where you will find lots of information. Every day, remember a clear, named water bottle, a named PE kit with a House colour t-shirt, weather appropriate clothing (especially for all the OPAL fun), a current reading book (either from home or school) and an enthusiastic attitude to learning. Good attendance is essential this year as we cover so much each day and need to constantly build on previous learning.
Drop an email to the office if there is anything else I can help you with.
Kind regards,
Mrs Brock, Year 4 Class Teacher

The sugar rush is just beginning to wear off after our lovely Belgium waffles eaten as part of our European Day of Languages! We have been speaking French, German and Dutch, identifying where Belgium is in Europe and finding out about the Atomium. The children showed great resilience during our Emile MTC competition earning us a place in the finals next week. All this practise helps with using a device to enter the answers as quickly as possible. We have discovered a great exercise in PE - cone air hockey - ask the children to demonstrate. Our strength and stamina has improved just in the last couple of weeks, shown by the increased participation during circuits and Mile Run.
Next week is assessment week, so plenty of early nights, drinking lots of water and being outside when we're not completing assessments. Have a exhilarating weekend!

A full week, continuing our sentence stacking for "Feast" where we have used onomatopoeia, pathetic fallacy, alliteration and similes! Our maths has been focussing on adding multiples of 1,000 and working hard on all our times tables. We found out more about the Jewish faith, the Ten Commandments and what a Mezuzah is. We enjoyed a sweaty PE, building our stamina and strength with some core exercises.
Have a super weekend.
Spellings this week: Immature, Immeasurable, Impossible, Immortal, Imperfect, Impatient, Immovable, Impolite, Important, Improper
Jewish Mezuzah: A mezuzah is a piece of parchment inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah, which Jews affix in a small case to the doorposts of their homes.

The highlight of this week was how engaged the children were with the RAF STEM workshop. Their listening, participation and enjoyment was a pleasure to be part of. Thank you to those who were able to attend "Meet the teacher" on Wednesday, I hope you found it informative. We have continued with our sentence stacking linked to "Feast" from Disney. The children are putting a big effort into making their presentation the best it can be plus improving the sentences with their own ideas and extensive vocabulary. With the weather being so changeable, please ensure a waterproof coat is in school every day plus waterproof shoes if possible. This week's spellings are: inactive, incorrect, inaccurate, insecure, indefinite, incomplete, infinite, inedible, inability, indecisive. How many words can you use this weekend?
RAF STEM workshop
An amazing RAF STEM workshop delivered by Pete from Hyett Education. The children were outstanding, completing a difficult activity teaching a computer to recognise a UFO and launch a plane to intercept!

What a fantastic start to Year 4! The children have created awesome film strips this week ready to start making into films - watch out Hollywood! We have been identifying values of digits in a four digit number and started our science topic about Living in the Environment. We found out about the promise God made to the Jewish people by sharing the story of Abraham and Sarah. The children were amazing remembering so much from last year's Happy Mind and we started our happy breathing today.
Have a super weekend and remember, school photos on Monday!

At least 20 minutes of quality reading every day. This can be non-fiction, instruction manuals, graphic novels - as long as there is enjoyment and pleasure! Please record on BoomReader and encourage some reading aloud to enhance fluency and intonation.
DoodleMaths - assignments will be set each week plus other activities to support learning.
DoodleSpell - weekly spellings will be available here, please encourage the children to write down the spellings too so they become part of the hand's muscle memory
Timestables - learn through songs, make your own games, lots of different websites to support, have a timestables poster somewhere in the house, anything that works!
