This term has been lots of fun and Year 4 have done really well! We’ve made cars, drawn real-life trains, performed poetry, investigated friction and much, much more!
However, there have been some stand-out stars of our first term and they deserve a special mention. In literacy, there have been some outstanding pieces of writing. Here’s a descriptive build-up of an adventure story by Lucas:
“As the sun began to dissolve beneath the gentle waves, Max’s tummy began to bubble. What was lying beneath the murky depths of the sea? Were there man eating sharks? He shivered and shuddered all over. He began to want to go home.”
We’ve been paying close attention to mood and how it can change through a narrative. Olivia, Steven and Tyler have all made excellent progress in their writing this term so a big well done to them.
In maths, we’ve developed our strategies for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. All of the children have been pushing themselves up our learning mountain this term. Nevertheless, Danyal, Zakir and Isra have blown me away with their enthusiasm and as a result have all made especially good progress in maths.
It’s great to see that so many children are reading regularly at home with an adult. Umar, Abdul-Ahad, Kacy and Billy have all made great progress in their reading this term. A lot of this is because they are working hard at home.
Finally, thanks to Mrs Freeman and Mrs Edwards who have contributed massively to the success of the children.
Have a great Christmas, Year 4, and I’ll see you again next year.
(Finally, in case you missed it, here’s my (in)famous Christmas jumper that your child has no doubt been talking about…)
