WEEKLY NEWS
Friday 22nd November
This week in Year 4 our literacy has been working on non-chronological reports about earthquakes. We have covered adjectives, personification, as well as use of precise verbs and technical vocabulary. In maths we have been looking at conversion of metric measures: kilometres, litres and kilograms. This has enabled us to reinforce our work on thousands and hundreds. In science we have continued with electricity, using kits of electrical components to check whether circuits are complete or incomplete. Our texts in reading this week were Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown and Stig of the Dump by Clive King. In our Friday carousel activity, the children were exposed to music from the best decade, (the 80s). In Godrevy we have been learning about the three main types of volcanoes: composite, shield and dome, how they erupt and how they form differently. In art we have been experimenting with colour mixing with paint and created strips to show how the tones of colour can change. This is preparation for when we work on our Turner-style painting. In R.E, Mr Manley explored the qualities that God saw in Noah and how Noah carried out God's commands. We also had a rather chilly P.E lesson working on communication and teamwork to solve code-breaking problems

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).

Geography - VOLCANOES
This term we will be finding out about the volcanoes. We will be investigating how they form, where they are most prevalent and what the consequences are for the people who live in regions with active volcanoes.
