Teacher Blog- Miss Agodo

Last week in Year 4 we spent a lot of time discussing the effects of single use plastic on our environment. We created posters and planned letters that we would write to our local MP, persuading them to reduce the production of single-use plastic items. In Maths we revised the place value chart and looked at multiplying numbers (whole numbers and decimals) by 10, 100 and 1000. The pupils continued to practice their times table knowledge, in preparation for the statutory Year 4 test in the summer term. In Science, we experimented the changes in pitch, using a xylophone as a model and then pupils compared the pitch of 2 water bottles with different amounts of water in each.  The pupils especially enjoyed computing this week as they learned to command the digital turtle logo on the screen using various commands; they were able to extend themselves by creating various shapes such as hexagons, diamonds, and squares.
