Year 4 Update from Mr powell

​Things have taken a festive turn in Year 4 this week.  Alongside the joy of Christmas Cards, recording a Christmas song and celebrating the term, pupils have concluded the term in style.
 
In English, the children have been reflecting on the various adventures of Christmas elves.  Each morning, pupils have discovered multiple elves between their classrooms abseiling, making snow angels and other shenanigans.  Utilising recent story writing experiences, the elves helped to inspire independent story writing, including use of fronted adverbials, adjectives, alliteration, rhetorical questions, exclamations, and ellipses.
 
In Maths, pupils continue to learn their x6, x8 and x12 times tables.  Further into the week, pupils used their four operation skills from this term in a myriad of Christmas themed Maths activities.  Additionally, pupils have had the opportunity to use Hit the Button, Mathletics and TTRockstars.
 
We are also pleased to say that all pupils have been read with, in time to update BugClub allocations for the holidays.
