What a lovely week we have had in Year 4! The weather has been beautiful, and we have enjoyed making the most of the sunshine while continuing to work hard in our lessons.

In Maths, we have been learning about hundredths as both fractions and decimals. The children have explored how hundredths can be represented on a place value chart and have been developing their understanding of the relationship between fractions and decimals. We have been impressed with the confidence the children have shown when reading, writing and comparing decimal numbers.

In English, we have begun writing descriptions of the digestive system. So far, we have focused on explaining what happens from the mouth to the throat, using scientific vocabulary and clear explanations. We are looking forward to continuing our journey through the digestive system over the coming weeks.

In Geography, we have been using both atlases and digital maps to identify and locate the physical features of Europe. The children have enjoyed comparing different types of maps and developing their map-reading skills while learning about Europe's mountains, rivers and other natural landmarks.

In Art, we have been studying the work of the contemporary artist and sculptor Thomas J Price. We explored how he creates large-scale sculptures that celebrate ordinary people and represent modern life. The children had thoughtful discussions about the messages behind his work and how art can reflect society.

In PE, they excitedly enjoyed the challenge maps to guide them around a grid. They also had fun using some of the equipment, in practise for Sport’s Day.

Well done, Year 4, for another fantastic week of learning!
