Year 4 Weekly Blog (13. 11. 20)

Date: 12th Nov 2020 @ 2:25pm

Week 2 is now completed and there are only 41 more sleeps until the big man in red comes a visiting!

On Wednesday, Year 6 put together a poignant video as a way of celebrating Remembrance Day in a socially distanced way. The children who took part were exceptional and should feel really proud of their achievements. The videos (6A and 6G) can be found in the St Luke’s YouTube account. The children in Year 4 sat through the service and demonstrated their great listening skills and they also respectfully observed the 2-minute silence. Thank-you year 4, we are proud of you all.

Today, Friday, it was Children in Need day and all the children came to school wearing lots of shades of yellow with spots dominating the classrooms. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take part in the normal fundraising activities but nonetheless the children had a chance to get into the spirit of the day by learning all about how previous years’ money has been spent for good causes and we even took part in Joe Wick’s 5 minute ‘Children in Need’ workout.

In English, we began our topic book – Fox. The children were desperate to find out what was happening in the first scene and are learning to be patient! As the idiom goes: A picture speaks a thousand words.

In Maths we have been studying division with remainders in word problems and also using bar models to show how to work out problems such as: If Bob has 6 times more conkers than Ruth and they have 42 conkers between them, how many conkers does Bob have???

Enjoy your weekend everybody!
