Internal Visit from Benjamin Franklin House - Thursday, 10th July
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 18.06.2025
Maths:
This week in Maths, we looked closely into non-unit fractions. We know that a non-unit fraction as a numerator is greater than 1. We looked at different equal parts and rehearsed how we find the denominator and how we find the numerator. We then began to use our knowledge of unit fractions to find one whole. Finally, by the end of the week we were confident when using repeated addition of a unit fraction to form a non-unit fraction!
English:
This week we became poets! We began our sentence stacking phase of writing and created our poems ‘The Colour Collector’ based on our text ‘The Sound Collector’. We explored different colours and tones and used personification to give human qualities to something that isn’t human. We enjoyed using this writing technique and came up with some exciting examples!
PSHE:
In PSHE, we discussed our dental health this week, really looking closely and what we need to make sure we are actively doing so that we have healthy teeth and gums. We knew that it was important to brush our teeth twice a day but also that our diets and contribute to our dental health.

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/
