In maths, we have looked at rounding numbers and thinking about whether we need to round up or down to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000. Y4 loved playing a rounding game to see which numbers they could generate to complete their grids before their partner.

Year 4 trip to the Discovery Centre
Date: 11th Mar 2025 @ 9:16am
Year 4 had a trip to the recycling centre where we learnt how to properly recycle items, how each material is separated and where in the UK it goes to. We learnt how important it is to recycle and why it is important to only put the correct items in the bin. We were able to understand how magnets were used in the centre and linked this to our topic of 'Forces and Magnets.'
We enjoyed exploring the centre and even taking part in some fun activities including: sorting materials, reading, recycling twister, recycling connect 4 and more!

In our PE lesson this week, we focussed on the skill of defending and completed a variety of drills for this including throwing and catching drills and piggy in the middle. At the end of the lesson we put these into practise in mini team games and even set different challenges for each games including a certain number of passes and making sure every member of the team touched the ball before scoring a goal.
We then evaluated our performances and adapted what we did based on this.
These are some of the things we said:
"I think we worked collaboratively together."
"It was hard to know who the ball was going to so next time I will shout the name of the person I am throwing to."
"We made sure everyone in our team had a turn."

Painting the Last Supper in Year 4 and 5
Date: 27th Feb 2025 @ 2:34pm
In our Religious Education lesson we described what happened at the Last Supper and why it was significant. We talked about how the events of the Exodus where celebrated each year in Jesus' life but why this time was different. We talked about how he introduced something quite new as he blessed, broke and passed the unleavened bread to everyone, telling them it was his body and then the cup of wine saying it was his blood and that it would be shed, be sacrificed, for everyone and that he asked that they repeat his actions in memory of him.
We then looked at different artists representations of the Last Supper and talked about the similarities and differences of these. We then talked about these and used some of these ideas and techniques when we created our own representations of the Last Supper using water colours.
