Cobalt 2026/27

Welcome to Year 4 and Team Cobalt

Your teacher is Mrs Holman

Your teaching assistants are Miss Akther, Miss Vaughan and Miss Udin

Another busy week in Year 4!

Next week in English, we will be looking at the poem, ‘A Small Dragon’ by Brian Patten. We will investigate the poem’s vocabulary and focus on how adjectives are used to describe nouns, and how we can add description with prepositional phrases. We will then write our own free-verse poems to read aloud.

In Maths next week, we will be applying our knowledge of column addition and column subtraction, in order to add and subtract with sets of numbers up to 4 digits long. We will revise our knowledge of the words ‘added, sum, minuend, subtrahend and difference’ and use these words to help us with our calculations. We will focus on lining up our digits accurately in their columns in order to reach the correct answer. We will also continue to work hard on our 4 times tables and after half term, will be progressing on to our 8s!

We are also looking forward to completing some more of our lessons from the wider curriculum. In Art, we will begin working on our final pieces in the style of Henri Rousseau, applying the skills and techniques we have been looking at in class and using the mediums of paints and oil pastels. We will continue to learn new skills whilst enjoying our ukuleles in Music and as Scientists, we will learn how to group and classify a variety of plants using observable characteristics.

Have a great weekend everyone!

PE days for Team Cobalt will be Mondays and Thursdays

Please bring in library books on a Tuesday and your Reading Records on Fridays as we look to celebrate reading at home.

Weekly Highlights

In Art this week, we have been exploring different mediums. We used the medium of oil pastels to do some mark making in our sketchbooks and extended a picture by the artist we are studying this half- term: Henri Rousseau. We focused on using different shades and shapes in order to create depth and texture in our work. Check out our beautiful examples below...
