Internal Visit from Benjamin Franklin House - Thursday, 15th May
The Human Body – Pupils learn about the history of the bones that were discovered in the Benjamin Franklin House basement and their role in the history of medicine. Pupils will focus on the human skeleton to successfully identify the major bones of the body. To consolidate their learning, each pupil will then create their own diagram of the human skeleton to take home or go on display in the classroom!
PE - Tuesdays with Morris and Wednesdays with Class Teacher
Homework - Due in on the 23.04.2025
Maths:
On Monday, we finished the columnar subtraction unit by recapping everything we had learned from not exchanging, exchanging once and exchanging twice. We started the fractions unit on Tuesday and we focused on wholes and parts. We learned that a whole is the complete thing and a part is a section or a piece of the whole. To put this into context, we looked at Europe as a whole and countries within Europe as a part i.e. If Europe is the whole, then Finland is part of the whole.
English:
In English, we finished the ‘Immersion Phase’ for our new book, ‘The Street Beneath My Feet’ by creating an advert persuading people to take an incredible journey to the centre of the Earth using a futuristic lift. Did you know the core of the Earth is 3,959 miles from the surface of the planet? We began the ‘Sentence Stacking’ phase and focused on features such as sounds (clapping, rumbling and tweeting), effective and ineffective questions and commands.
PATHS:
This week, we focused on the feelings ‘rejected’ and ‘included’ and how we feel when we belong or don’t belong to a certain group. We discussed that we feel comfortable not being part of another individual’s family because we have our own family that we belong to. On the other hand, we discussed how it would feel if we wanted to be a part of a group and someone tells us that they don’t want us to be a part of that group.

National Multiplication Tables Check
The multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for all Year 4 pupils in England.
The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.
The following website is a great tool to help children get used to the layout and timings of the test: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/
