Move like Egyptians!

What an incredible day year 4! I was so proud of how much energy you gave and we have learnt so much. What a fantastic way to start our topic all about the ancient Egyptians! We composed Egyptian music using rhythm, beat and pentatonic melodies and learned to belly dance, just like Egyptians!

Year 4

Another busy week in year 4! This week we have looked at cameras through the decades in topic. We explored primary sources, like real historians would and discovered how the camera has changed. In Maths we have been looking at counting forwards and backwards in numbers up to 1000. I made it my business to throw the children head first into the pit of challenge, but every time they managed to climb out! In English, we have been continuing to look at poetry, we have looked at different types of poems and analysed what makes them similar and different. We have considered rhyming patterns, rhythm and free verse, as well as haikus and poems with rhyming couplets! We applied our descriptive skills that we developed last week to write different kinds of poems.

Citizens of the week this week are Khadesja and Scott.

Writer of the week is Thomas S

Speaker of the week is Jacob C

Welcome to Year 4 2015-16

Well done to all the Year 4 children. They have settled in really quickly and have been working very hard.
