Another amazing week in year 4. We have been learning how to write Roman Numerals, it is super tricky, but once you know the rules you can figure out any number! In Maths we have been investigating numbers and working on our explanation skills. English has been full of problems! In a good way though, as we have been mapping dilemma stories! We have been thinking about what we would do in certain situations and giving reasons for our opinions. The children have worked very hard! This week’s citizens of the week are Michael and Casey for trying their best and not giving up! Speaker of the week is Alana for her excellent storytelling and Della is our writer of the week for writing an emotive letter!

Have a good weekend!

Our Mining Museum!

This half term the children opened their very own museum based on their learning about the importance of mining in Great Preston. It was a fabulous afternoon and once again, well supported by parents and relatives. The children worked so hard and there was a real buzz in the air as they discussed their areas with the grown ups.

Well done Year 4 and Year 3! Thank you also for all your encouraging comments. Makes us want to do it again!

Coal Miners for a day!

Year 4 had a fantastic trip to the National Coal Mining Museum! Our highlight was going down the pit and experiencing what it was like to work in the mines. Sally Fletcher, our workshop companion, was a little scary, but incredibly interesting.

The children learned a tremendous amount from the trip and are now fired up to continue with their topic. Well done for super behaviour - our group leader, Keith, commented on how lovely the children were and that we were welcome back anytime. Not to mine though, I hope!

Mr Ellis visits Y4

A big thank you to Mr Ellis for helping us in his professional capacity. We are hoping to get our sculptures finished soon so watch out for the willow tree!!!!

Redesign of Great Preston Village...STOP PRESS!!

Thank you to my wonderful class for the way that you welcomed our visitor, Mr Gluck, to our school. He helped us to think about how we might design our new stadium for our village. He shared with us the way in which he works to plan buildings.

You then worked hard on your writing which reflected the difficulties that we might have in a small village if we were to build a huge Arena similar to the new one in Leeds City Centre.

Well done Year 4
Miss Taylor
