Year 4 Blog 24.4.26

Year 4 have had another great week and luckily the sun has been out to make our playtimes brighter.

 This week has been full of exciting learning across the curriculum. In maths, we have been focusing on perimeter, building our understanding of how to measure around rectilinear shapes.

In indoor PE, we have been creating our own Egyptian dance sequences by putting together different actions and in outdoor PE we have been practising our running skills using hurdles, focusing on our lead leg.

Our topic work has taken us deeper into Ancient Egypt, where we have been learning about Egyptian gods and the importance of the River Nile to everyday life. We have also continued reading our class text, The Secrets of the Sun King, which the children are thoroughly enjoying.

 We also visited Formby High School to take part in Sing for Sefton alongside other local schools—a fantastic experience that everyone really enjoyed!

Well done to our Weekly Superstars: -

4C: Isla and Fred 4M.
