Weekly Review - 19th April 

Weekly Review  

Math: The children continued to apply their knowledge of fractions and learned how to express and compose and decompose quantities made up from both –whole numbers and fractional part. They also used number lines to show their understanding of the whole and fractional parts. 

English: The children edited and published their poems about volcanoes, which are now proudly displayed in the KS2 corridor. 

This half term we continue to explore poetry and began to look at work of Karl Nova and his poetry book Rythm and Rhyme.  

PSHE: In PSHE we thought about things which go in our bodies which are good for us, and which are not good for us with an example of tobacco and its harmful effect on human body. 

RE: We began a new topic War and Suffering and considered why believers of religions can sometimes believe war is justified. We learned the historical perspective of the Sikh religion and discussed the rules proposed by Guru Gobind Singh. 

Vocabulary: to ascend, to master, to peer 

Have a lovely weekend

Year 4 team

Please see Year 4 information page for information regarding what days the children are expected to bring in their P.E kits.  

School Uniform

This is a reminder that children need to come into school in the correct school uniform. Correct uniform is as follows:

• Navy jumper or cardigan with school logo
• Navy blue skirt/trousers/shorts/pinafore (no joggers or jeans)
• Black/Navy shoes shoes (no logos)

Further details of correct uniform can be found here: https://www.ravenstoneschool.co.uk/ Order-uniform/. If your child comes in to school without proper uniform, we will contact you to ask you to bring in whatever item of clothing they are missing.

Please also make sure your child's uniform is clearly labelled with their full name. Any unlabelled uniform will be placed in the lost property box, and will be donated to FoR's second hand uniform sale if not collected after a month.

Toys From Home

Due to incidences in the playground, Lower Key Stage 2 have decided to prohibit toys from being brought into school from home. The children have a number of playground resources to use and structured games to  play during break and lunchtime. We are looking forward to seeing the children making the most of these resources and enjoying their playtimes.
