Just like that, we only have one more half-term of Year 4. We have spent the final week of Summer 1 wrapping up our topics in a very active fashion! 

The class spent time with the other Year 4 teachers this week. Firstly, 4DA spent time developing their own musical tunes on garage band using their ipads with Mr Ash. There are plenty of students with a serious ear for a good melody! The children also spent time with Miss Jackson so produce self-portraits – linking back to skills learnt during our Arts Fortnight. There was once again some super work produced. Finally, the class spent their time on Friday morning searching the school for letters. These were found by using their knowledge of 4-Figure Grid references as they were given a map of the school and some coordinates to use. I was very impressed with their use of maps – if you find yourself lost this half-term, you’ll be in safe hands if you have a map! 

When we get back after half-term, we have our Countryside school trip (to Mr Atkinson’s home of Harrogate) to look forward to. Please ensure you have signed up for the trip. 

We also have our times-table check when we return. A big push on TTRS would be incredibly beneficial! 

Have a nice break!
