This week in Year 4, we have been very busy with our learning!

 

In English, we analysed the character of Pentheus and used evidence from the text to support our ideas about him being kind and showing empathy towards Bran, as well as studying Bran and how he presents himself as a strong, brave warrior who is proud of his tribe.

 

In maths, we have worked so hard on understanding decimals and finished the week practising ordering decimals in ascending and descending order, rounding decimals to the nearest whole number, and understanding ½, ¼ and ¾ as decimals. We completed the unit with our end of unit assessment and we all scored very well!

 

In history, we compared the similarities and differences between the Celts and the Romans and can talk conficently about why the Romans were successful in conquering Britain. In science we answered an enquiry question focused on the positive and negative impacts humans have on the environment and rounded off the Living things and their Habitats unit with an assesssment to show what we could remember, again we all did brilliantly!

 

In DT, we began our new topic on pizza making, identifying different types of rising and non-rising dough and the products made from them. We also really enjoyed our gladiator comprehension lessons, showed great effort with our times tables practice on Monday, and had lots of fun tying knots during our forest session on Thursday.

What a busy week!

 

Homework this week is TT Rockstars practice, spellings and a Geography carousel, all due in by Wednesday. Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend :-)
