Weeks Beginning 22nd September 2025
This week, the children have continued their learning all about historical narratives. We have joined 'Charlie and Tilda' as they have found the magic portal back in time to ancient York. We have learned how to use fronted adverbials as well as inverted commas to engage the reader. We have also created some amazing freeze frames to show how the characters are feeling during the story.
In maths, we have begun to learn about number sequences and explaining if certain numbers will appear in a particular sequence. RE saw us explore the world of Karma and how Hindus believe in their Atman being their souls. The children learned more about this using a game of snakes and ladders; trying our best to get to Moksha (square 100).
In PE, we continued our topics of 'netball' and 'communication and tactics'. Mr Smith supported the children in their understanding of accurate throwing and catching as well as supporting our teammates using effective communication skills.

The children had an amazing time with Phil for their first Muddy Monsters session of the year. They were able to work in teams to create dens as well as explore our wonderful Forest School area. Take a look at the photos below from our morning.
Weeks Beginning 1st and 8th September 2025
Wow! What a busy first couple of weeks we have had in Year 4B! The children have come back in such amazing spirits and we can't wait to start our journeys together in Year 4. Here are just a few highlights of what we have been up to since we came back.
We started with Art in which we completed our unit of work all about 'Tints and Shades'. We looked at the work of famous artists including Paul Cezanne and Clara Peeters. We discussed how they use light and dark to create 3d images in their still-life paintings. We then created our own still-life paintings using the techniques taught to use to create life like paintings.
In English, we have started to write stories set in Ancient Rome. The children have learned how to describe settings using similes and other forms of imagery to create an atmosphere of tension and suspense. We have also started reading History Hackers all about Charlie and Tilda who explore time travel and discover many hidden treasures on their way.
In Maths, we have begun with the basics of number and place value. The children have learned how to compare and order numbers, up to 4-digits, before practising rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000. This certainly proved challenging for many of the class so we would be encouraging them to keep practising whenever they can!
In Science, we have started learning about living things and their habitats. The children learned how to classify vertebrates and how we can identify whether they are mammals, fish, reptiles, birds or amphibians based on their physical characteristics. In History, we have completed 2 lessons of our Romans topic where we have discussed why The Romans wanted to invade Britain as well as how they were almost defeated by the mighty Boudica and her armies.
PE saw us begin our unit on communication and tactics. We played whole class games of noughts and crosses before working as a team to try and beat our opponents. We learned that the same tactic won't always work against certain teams so we need to be willing to adapt if we want to succeed.
