Year 4 begins every week with a class Zoom call. This week, the children were invited to share one of their talents with the rest of the class. We were lucky enough to see an array of talents on display – golfing, gymnastics, singing, dancing, magic tricks, piano and guitar playing. For all involved, this was a very enjoyable way to start the week.

Some of the children in the class have had a very productive week. Olivier retold the story of Pentecost, focusing on how the disciples felt before and after receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. Also, he practised spelling words for the weekly spelling test and wrote an acrostic poem on Coronavirus. Well done, Olivier!

Olivia tried hard to use her neatest handwriting to write out the prayer ‘Come Holy Spirit’ which she then decorated beautifully. Also, she wrote a Kennings poem based on one member of staff. Can you guess who Olivia has described?

Lily has worked hard. Like Olivia, she wrote a Kennings poem. Also, she answered comprehension questions and she practised spelling words for the weekly spelling test, which she scored full marks on yet again. Good girl, Lily!

Roman created a word search containing various scientific words and, in handwriting, he practised certain letter joins. Like Lily, he scored full marks on the weekly spelling test. Well done, Roman!

Jackson thoroughly enjoyed drawing a picture of an eye. I think his drawing is very realistic.

As always, Ffion worked hard this week. I especially enjoyed reading the piece of writing that she did for the ‘100 Word Challenge’. She definitely left me wanting to read more! Also, Ffion researched the life of St. Cecilia and, in reading, she answered comprehension questions. She enjoyed planning a cycle route around her local area which she then followed on her bike. Good Girl, Ffion!

Alicja continued to work extremely well. In grammar and punctuation, she used articles and determiners and, in reading, she answered comprehension questions. In R.E., she researched the life of a saint and, in maths, she ordered and compared numbers. Keep up the great effort, Alicja!

Lottie enjoyed discovering that the small intestine is actually longer than the large intestine. Using a hose pipe, she measured out the length of the small intestine and the large intestine.

James Clancy has worked hard. All of his written tasks are well-presented and completed to a high standard. Also, he enjoyed helping his brother, Joseph, create a volcano – they look quite the scientists! Well done, James!

A huge thank you to those who continue to send work in, it is wonderful to see how well the children are getting on at home. Last week, the children were tasked with writing their own traditional tale. I have been sent some and they are fantastic!

Abbie worked really hard on her writing and not only has worked on her handwriting but also spent lots of time planning her story to think about what journey she wanted her story to go on. Well done Abbie!

Alannah once again blew me away with her fantastic art skills. She continues to look at the work of different artists and uses this as inspiration to create her own pieces. This week the Year One children were focusing on landscapes and Alannah looked at the work of Hockney and used this to create her own piece. She is a brilliant artist and I love seeing her different creative pursuits. Well done Alannah!

Emily worked very hard on her traditional tale. She created her own version of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. She introduced an Evil Queen and a Prince to the story. Beautiful writing and some great ideas, well done Emily!

Phoebe has been as busy as ever! She has exercised everyday both on her trampoline and going for long walks (when the weather was a bit nicer). She planted some sunflower seeds and has looked after them so well they are ready to be potted in their own plant pots as they continue to grow. She has also been working hard on her writing and has used her brilliant ideas to write her own traditional tale about a Princess called Jasmine and a witch called Agatha. Phoebe has made fantastic progress in her phonics and continues to complete daily activities to learn and practise new sounds. Well done Phoebe!

Veronica has been working hard on her maths this week. She has focused on time and solving problems relating to this. She has continued to try really hard and has succeeded! Keep up the good work Veronica, Well done!

Grace has once again worked incredibly hard to complete her home learning. She has given all curriculum areas a go and continues to achieve. You can see from the sheer number of photos that she has gone above and beyond the expectations. Have a look at all of the different things she got up to. She even spotted my mistakes in some of the code breaker tasks and wrote her own number problems to solve and make the code right! Well done Grace!

Some of the pupils in Year 4 have started the final half-term of this academic year well.

Patrick has written a ‘Lockdown’ acrostic poem. He has used his neatest handwriting and presented it very well. The lines of his poem will ring true with many of us! well done, Patrick.

As always, Lily has been working hard. In maths, she has been reading and writing Roman numerals and, in English, she has been accurately answering comprehension questions. Lily has continued to score full marks in the weekly spelling test and she has been practising certain letter joins in handwriting. Good girl, Lily!

Roman has been applying himself well. It is pleasing to see that he too is scoring full marks in the spelling test and it is good to see the improvement in his handwriting. Keep up the great effort, Roman!

Alicja has continued to work incredibly well, ensuring that she has completed all tasks set. I particularly enjoyed reading your ‘Thank You NHS’ acrostic poem, Alicja.

Julian has been continuing to work hard over the last couple of weeks. Your pencil control is amazing and I love the bridge you made. Julian has also found a new love of football and riding his scooter – brilliant!

Amie has had a very busy couple of weeks – if you keep on cooking like this Amie, you’ll soon be on Master Chef! I love the time and care you have taken over your name and making 2D shapes , and your bridge for the Gingerbread to cross over is amazing –  keep up the good work!
