The children in Year 4 have finished their Ice Palace stories in English and after some pair editing, they wrote them up in the neatest. It has been a real pleasure reading their brilliant narratives explaining Starjik’s dark origin. Very well done!

In Maths, the class moved onto scaling and correspondence problems applying their understanding of factors and products. We used bar modelling as a technique to help us visualise the calculations needed. The children also played a competitive factor-mining game, recalling all known multiplication facts.

In D&T, the class started their unit of work on mechanisms, learning about levers and linkages. The children built their first prototypes, creating a simple mechanism with 1 input and 1 output lever.

In Computing, we used Chrome Music Lab to create content online. The children enjoyed recording their sounds and using the website to alter it, represent it with drawings or to dissect the recordings into frequency waves.

Please remember, our Key Stage 2 Advent Service is on Wednesday, 6th December!

Have a lovely weekend,

Ms Varga
