    Cobalt 2024-25

    Welcome to Year 4 and Team Cobalt

    Your teachers are Mrs Holman & Mrs Bonner

    Your teaching assistants are Mrs Pullen & Mrs Hajzeri        

    In English this week, we have investigated the features of persuasive writing, before gathering information to write our own persuasive letters. Our inspiration came from the books, ‘Malala’s Magic Pencil’ by Malala Yousafzai & illustrated by Kerascoet and ‘Greta and the Giants’ by Zoe Tucker and Zoe Persico.

    Next week, we will read Greta Thunberg’s story again and collaborate to plan and write a short letter, so we can help Greta’s cause further because climate change is something we are all responsible for. When writing, we will vary our sentence structures and use a range of conjunctions and adverbials. We will then start to plan our own persuasive letters about litter in the community, using the features of persuasive writing.

    This week in Maths, we have done very well revising and practising key Year 4 concepts and strategies in order to complete our assessments. We have also done amazingly on our MTC checks. Well done to everyone for working so hard! 

    Next week in Maths, we will be focusing on angles and begin to look at time. We will explore and group a range of different sized angles and learn the mathematical names for them, before comparing and ordering them from smallest to largest and largest to smallest. We will also learn to recognise different types of angles in a range of 2D  shapes. In addition to this, we will be rehearsing how to tell the time to the nearest minute, on an analogue clock. We will also practice how to write the time using both words and numbers.  

    This week in art, we have learnt about the artist, Clarice Cliff. We looked at examples of her work and compared them to ancient Greek pottery, then discussed their similarities and differences. We then had a go at creating some patterns and designs for our own story vases, inspired by the Greek myths we read in English.
