Year 4 Blog

This morning we have been measuring objects around the classroom. Some of us created our own tables to record the measurements.  We will use the data we have collected to create a bar chart in our lesson tomorrow.

This morning we have put our new multiplication skills to the test with a challenge from Miss Moss.  We worked together to plan a class trip to Chill Factore, Chester Zoo and Alton Towers. We worked out how much the entrance, food and travel would be.

Don't worry though parents, it's all…

This afternoon we have been working on our Pop UK songs.  Miss Moss hopes the parents are enjoying the singing at home as she's sure Year 4 can't get them out of their heads!

We have been travelling through space in our maths lesson this morning solving multiplication and division problems. As we passed each planet the problems were more and more difficult!

We have had our first brass lesson of the half term today. The children were reading music from the board and playing their cornets and baritones. 

Miss Moss was very impressed!

This morning we had our first computing lesson.

We have been showing off our skills on Scratch Jnr. 

We have been telling the time in school this week.  We have tried really hard to tell the time in words, 12 hour and 12 hour time.

With more practice at home we could be telling the time by Christmas!

In English this morning we looked at a text and highlighted and labelled the features.  We talked about instructions and explanations and talked about the difference.

This morning we have been in the computing suite to complete an addition challenge. We have been playing a game in which we needed to add numbers in our heads. We need to be able to partition numbers to complete the game.

Every Friday Miss Moss asks a member of Year 4 to write a blog entry.  This weeks blog of the week is by Kaitlyn,

We have being doing addition and partitioning Numbers. I enjoyed it when we all did the partitioning numbers and Damien Harvey visited the school he is…

We had a fantastic morning learning all about the Romans.  We looked at different artifacts, held real roman hair items and played games.

We learned all about Roman soldiers and tried to put a toga onto our friends.  We sketched the roman items and dressed as romans soldiers.

We have had our brass lesson this morning. We can now play the notes c, g and f on the cornets and baritones. We have started to learn our first song too!
