Dear Parents/Carers,
What another busy week of learning in Year 4!
In English, we have started our new unit on recounts. The children have been exploring the features of a recount and identifying what makes them effective. Ask your child if they can remember some of the key features we have discussed in class.
In Maths, we have moved on to length and perimeter. The children have been measuring lengths accurately and calculating the perimeter of different shapes.
In Science, we have begun our new unit on solids, liquids and gases. The children have enjoyed investigating the properties of each state of matter. Next week, we will be exploring temperature and learning how to use thermometers correctly.
Swimming continues to go well, with lots of children making good progress and showing excellent listening skills during their lessons. We are very proud of their positive attitudes and determination in the pool.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and look forward to another exciting week of learning next week.
Mr Dring and Miss Maher
