Spelling 24th-1st October 2021

Year 4 have been researching more about rivers, focusing on erosion and deposition. We have located key rivers in the UK, identified the main towns they run through and found the sources and mouth of the river. In Science, we have been sorting the properties of solids, liquids and gases. In groups, we carried out a comparative and fair test based around the weight of gas. In English, we have been reading the book Flotsam, decoding the illustrations and practising our VIPERS reading skills. We have revisited grammar and punctuation such as subordinate clauses, sentences types and question marks in preparation for our persuasive advert writing next week.

Spelling 1st October - 8th October

This week, Year 4 have been rounding to 10, 100 and 1000. The children have been preparing to write an advert about their underwater camera by gathering ideas using rhetorical questions, expanded noun phrases and ambitious adjectives. In topic, we have explore the features of a river and used 4 and 6 figure grid references to located places on a map. We are looking forward to performing poetry by Michael Rosen on Poetry Day and innovating one of his poems into our own.
