In English, we have been looking at Limerick Poems. We have read through lots of examples and looked at the specific features of a Limerick Poem. In small groups we then began working together to write our own Limerick Poem. We had to make sure we followed a specific pattern and make sure that certain lines rhymed with each other.
The children had some fantastic ideas and were able to create some excellent poems. The children in their groups then performed their poems to the rest of the class.
Well done Year 4! You have worked really hard this week!

This week in PE we had an activity where the children had to watch a video of a game being played. The children then had to write down the instructions and equipment from the video to be able to rein act the game themselves in small groups.
The children worked really well as a team where they communicated and decided between each other how the rules of the game were played.
All the children loved the competition between the attackers and defenders. It was fantastic to see all children joining in and having fun.

Year 4 have been developing their catching and throwing skills. We focused on catching and throwing the ball in different ways. This included underarm, overarm, chest pass, bounce pass, one handed and two handed. We also thought about how to pass the ball in different ways: hard, soft, high, low.

Year 4 have been developing the skills to throw accurately. They needed to look at the target and attempted to throw the ball in the hoop in the middle of each pair. We started far away from the hoop but if we used our throwing skills accurately and got the ball or bean bag in the hoop, we could take one step towards it. The winner in the pair was the first person to get to the hoop. We played the game again to develop confidence, focusing on the skill of accurately aiming.

Today in class, we focused on our joined-up handwriting, tying it in with our Year 4 spellings. The children were fantastic at remembering the correct writing position, which really helped improve their letter formation. It was great to see everyone engaged and making progress. As we continue to practise, we encourage parents to support this at home. Let’s keep up the excellent work together!

This week, Year 4 have been diving into the intriguing world of Ancient Greece! The children have been busy researching and learning about everyday life during this fascinating period. They explored various topics, including education, trade, food, and the roles of women in society. Through group discussions and engaging activities, the students have gained a deeper understanding of what life was truly like in Ancient Greece. They’ve enjoyed examining artefacts online and comparing ancient practices to our lives today. We’re excited to see how their newfound knowledge will inspire them in future lessons!
