WEEKLY NEWS
Friday 12th September
It's been a great first full week in Year 4 and we are gradually getting into our morning routines. We have already been busy with our writing, recapping on sentence structure, punctuation and how to edit and improve our descriptive sentences. In maths, we have been revising place value, addition strategies and we have touched on methods for subtraction, as well as challenging ourselves with some tricky word problems. In science we have beenlearning about the human digestive system, (alimentary my dear Watson). We have also had our first Wild Tribe session, just about managing to avoid the downpours.
In Godrevy we have started our topic on Stone Age Britain, trying to
understand what is meant by prehistory and tackling timelines for the stone, bronze and iron ages. In art we used sketching pencils to create a tonal scale, then tried to put our shading to the test on a sketch of the 'Lion Man' statue. In PSHE we thought about recognising our worth as an individual and attempted to set ourselves some personal goals. In French, we were introduced to some common French greetings. Our P.E lesson was slightly hampered by the weather but we did manage some good sprinting to get from the hailstorm on the playground to the hall. Once there we played some throwing for accuracy competitions in teams.

Spellings
Spellings are no longer being sent home in the traditional manner. Instead, the class will work on five spellings one week and a single rule or letter string the following week with a short, random test administered on Fridays.
We will be starting at the beginning of Mr Smith's Spelling document. All rules (and letter strings) can be found within the Spelling Exemplar document above.
Focus Five
There are 100 statutory words children in years three and four should know how to spell. You can download a full list here.
Every other week, we will work on five of these in class (and hopefully at home, too).
History - Prehistoric Britain
This term we will be finding out about how the lives of people and early civilisations during the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age.
