• In Mathematics we will look at efficient methods for multiplying 2 digit numbers by a 1 digit number as well as beginning to look at measuring area and coordinates.
• In English we will introduce a new genre- persuasive letter writing. We will be discovering the ingredients which make a successfully persuasive letter and pulling apart a model letter in preparation for innovating our own letters based around saving our rain forest.
• In Science we will learn about Sound during ppa with Ms Siames.
• In Topic time we will learn about the effect deforestation has on the peoples who live in the rain forest.
• During P.E lessons we shall continue our gymnastics unit, linking tuck,pike and straddle jumps with balances and travelling.
• During French lessons we will continue our work on the date. Now that we know the months of the year and numbers to 31 we will be learning the days of the week.

Thank you to all the children who brought sponsorship money for the NSPCC into school. If you have outstanding money it is not too late to bring it into school. Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed our sport and multiplication treasure hunt.

It will shortly be parent’s evening on the 1st or 14th March. I look forward to sharing your child’s progress over the last term of year 4 with you.  In addition, we would like to invite you to come in to school to watch our class assembly at 9.10am on Monday 5th March. We will be performing a short play based around the book-The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry to share our learning about saving the rain forest. Hopefully you will be able to join us when we perform our assembly to the key stage. [/dropshadowbox]
