What a great start to the year! The Awesome Apples have come back to school with a ready to learn attitude and they have showing this all throughout the week!
In science, we have started to explore solids, liquids and gases and the children enjoyed pretending to be a solid, liquid or a gas in our live particle models. We also explored different items and looked at their properties which make them what they are.
In maths, we have started to explore our place value topic and used counters and place value grids to represent different numbers up to 1,000. The children enjoyed showing me the representations they are comfortable with and exploring different ways to present the numbers.
Well done Year 4 on a successful start of the year! I am looking forward to seeing what we can achieve as we go on.

This week, we have started our Viking topic in history and the children have absolutely loved learning about who they were and where they came from. We explored who the Viking Kings were and what their job role was.
We have also carried out a science experiment where the children explored what happened to chocolate, ice and a candle when heat was applied and discuss what it meant by something melting.
In Talk for Writing, the children have been exploring different settings and understanding how we can use techniques such as personification to create a different atmosphere. Our vocabulary choices are amazing!
In maths, we have focused on rounding to the nearest 10 and 100 and I am so proud of the children for their resilience and concentration in this topic as we know it can be hard!
It has been a lovely first full week of learning. Well done Year 4!
