Year 4
Computing
This term, Year 4 have been learning all about the World Wide Web. We have learnt what a website is and have explored how the internet works. We looked at common features of different types of websites, such as logos, pictures and text. We then focused our learning on how we can create content on the World Wide Web. We used Chrome Music Lab to create our own musical content.
Hockey Skills
We have been practising our hockey skills this term in Year 4. We have learnt how to dribble the ball, how to push pass the ball to a partner and how to hit the ball at a distance. Working well with a partner, we have also learnt how to hit the ball to a target.
Stillness and Silence
This week, Year 4 practised some stillness and silence together. We focused our thoughts on our new virtue of thankfulness, thinking about what we are thankful for and how we can show gratitude towards others. We thought about how we are thankful for God, guiding us through each day. We are also thankful for Jesus’ sacrifice to save us!
Classifying Invertebrates
Today, Year 4 learnt about how we can classify invertebrates. We learnt about the five groups and discussed some examples of each. Then we used a classification key to help us find some invertebrates in our playground.
Reading Buddies
We spent some time with our Year 4 reading buddies during our Pilgrims of Hope Pledge Day. We spent some time doing some shared colouring, thinking about our jubilee pledge as Pilgrims of Hope.
Classification
In science, Y4 have been learning all about living things. We learnt how to classify animals by their characteristics. First, we decided on different ways of classifying ourselves. We grouped ourselves by whether we wear glasses, how old we are, whether we have siblings and by hair length. We then thought of different ways to classify animals.
Diary Entries
Year 4 have been focusing on diary entries in English. We read ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker and wrote our own diaries based on the book. Miss Harrison was very impressed with our writing!
