Welcome to Year 4 and Team Citron

Your teacher is Miss Palmer

Your teaching assistants are Miss Routledge, Mrs O'Shea, Mr Dakin and Mrs Elson

In English this week, we continued to read Arthur and the Golden Rope by Joe Todd-Stanton. We added more detail to our openings with lots of descriptive language and we started to write how our own characters moved their way through our own exciting adventures, and thought about our verb choices. We then added a description of a creature and focussed on noun phrases. Next week, we will be finishing our stories and adding some dialogue with the accurate use of speech punctuation.

This week in Maths, we have been looking at column subtraction. We have used our knowledge of place value to help us correctly set out our calculations. We then used this method to calculate with a range of numbers, starting with two digit numbers, before progressing onto three digits and more complex calculations. We have also looked at regrouping and how to do this when subtracting two and three digit numbers. For times tables, we have focused on our 2s, 5s and 10s. Next week, we will be learning that 1000 is used in metric measures and how to calculate forwards and backwards from 1000.

In Science, we started by sorting organisms into the five main vertebrate groups: mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. Then, we came up with questions and used them to sort our organisms with classification keys.

In PSHE, we thought about the different members of our school community, their roles and how they help us in school.

 Have a great weekend, everyone!
