Year 4 Weekly Round-Up

In Maths, we've been exploring different angles and shapes, learning all about their unique properties, We know the properties of polygons and how to identify it by the number of sides.  We know the difference between an equilateral, an isosceles and a scalene triangle and today we have learned that different types of triangles have a different number of lines of symmetry. 

In English, we’ve continued reading The Land of Roar, and we’re really enjoying the adventure so far! We’ve also been focusing on prefixes and how they can change the meaning of words—everyone’s been doing a fantastic job with this.

In Science, we wrapped up our Sound unit. To finish things off, we completed our end of unit quiz and showed off everything we’ve learnt—lots of great knowledge shared!  Try to remember that the less water in a glass, the higher the pitch because there is less water to slow down the vibrations!

In Geography, we’ve been learning all about tectonic plates—what they are, where they’re found, and how they link to our learning about volcanoes. It’s been fascinating stuff!

Over in Art, we’ve started looking at the work of Hokusai. We’re learning some of the basic shapes and techniques we’ll be using in our final piece, including how to draw the mountain, zig-zag snow shapes, and the outline of the tree and person.

This week’s homework is a History carousel all about the Romans, as well as spelling and times tables practice.

Well done for all your hard work this week—have a lovely weekend!
