In literacy we have started our unit of Adventure stories and will be starting writing our own next week. We have enjoyed reading several stories which link to our Ancient Egyptian theme, including 'The Time Travelling Cat and the Egyptian Godess'. We thoroughly enjoyed this book and it took us over 5 weeks to read, reading a little each day.
We have also read two shorter stories: 'The plot on the pyramid' and 'The magic and the mummy'. Whilst enjoying these stories, we have been identifying what they teach us about the Ancient Egyptians and also learning about features of stories. We will be using this to help us with our own stories.
As part of our learning about Ancient Egyptian jewellery, we made our own necklaces in the style of this falcon necklace. These are all hanging in our classroom.
In maths, Year 4s have been working really hard to learn new methods to carry out calculations. We have been using the expanded column methods to add and subtract and using the grid method to multiply.
In French, we have been learning to say the days of the week, using actions to help us remember.
Next week on Thursday (29th) will be our ICT day and also share afternoon. We hope that you will be able to join us from 2pm to share with your children some of what they have been learning so far this half term.
