What a treat it has been for the year 4 teachers to get to know our new cohort of learners! We have already started to dive deep into the curriculum looking at language features including noun groups, verb groups and prepositional phrases in English. The students have been so absorbed by the humour and excitement in our novel study of “The Twits” and we look forward to some amazing chapters being produced. But watch out! There are pranks afoot! Make sure you are not the unexpected victim!

In Mathematics we have been spending time looking at our number understanding and our strategies for addition and subtraction moving on to multiplication and division next. There is a big jump in this area in grade four so it is great to see the kids practicing their tables as part of their homework.

We have been digging up the dirt on rock cycles and soil types in Science and the hands-on investigations are certainly proving to be very popular.

A quick reminder to please get in touch early on if you have any questions or concerns.
