We've had a brilliant start to Year 4 and wanted to tell you all about our fantastic learning adventures. Time is flying! 
In English, we are totally absorbed in 'The Wizards of Once', a super fun book featuring wizards, witches, warriors, and Sychorax! We've been using our sentence stacking skills to write amazing newspaper reports. We learned how to make eye-catching headlines using the 5 W's and wrote funny eye-witness quotes and interesting headings. 
Our brains have been busy in Maths, mastering short multiplication and short division using written and mental methods. We are working hard on our times tables recall on TTRockstars—the inter-class competitions are so much fun! 
Science has been a blast! We learned all about the human body and the different functions of the organs, focusing a lot on the amazing digestive system. The most memorable lesson was the experiment where we made our own model poo to see how food gets chewed, broken down, and ends up as waste. It was messy but so fun working together in our groups! 
Finally, in Computing, we've become sound experts, learning how sound is recorded digitally and making our very own podcasts! 
We've had a brilliant, fun-packed start to Year 4 and can't wait for more exciting things to come! ​
