Year 4 Summer Term

        This term a lot of our work has been focussed on our topic, which has been a lot of fun. We had another successful themed day, when all the children came to school in their brilliant Indian costumes. A lot of thought and time had clearly gone into them and they really helped to bring the day alive. throughout the day the children learnt an Indian dance, decorated an Indian elephant and made some delicious Indian food, which they tasted at the end of the day!

Our topic in science has been habitats and the children have been finding out about all the different kinds of animals and plants which live around the school. As part of this topic, we all went on a trip to Kew gardens, to look at different plants and how they survive in their habitats. This was a really interesting day and the children were able to look at and touch some rare plants.

In literacy we have been learning all about dilemmas and thinking about how to solve them. We have been reading a story about a girl who just cannot stay out of trouble and we have been re-writing the story endings to help her out a bit.

The children have also written some brilliant epitaphs, limericks and haikus, which are now displayed proudly in a class book, for everyone to read!

   Finally, we really enjoyed reading all the family tree projects, it was really fascinating to find out some local history and for the children to talk about their relatives and what jobs they had done in the past. We really appreciated all the time and effort which had clearly gone into these
