It has been such a wonderful week in Year 4! The children have been really engrossed in their acting of scenes from Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest.’ The video below shows some of our performances and writing responses so far. This week, the children have all decided who they want to be and have come home with their parts (please see homework)
We got stuck into our Science this week, understanding all about changes in states of matter - thinking about evaporation - from liquid to gas. Children watched a puddle ‘disappear’ (although it is a wonder it didn’t freeze!) and then took part in lots of investigations to change speed of evaporation.
In maths, we have now nailed that 3x tble and we have been looking at relationships between multiplication calcuations - so for instance if we know 25 x 3 = 75 we know 24 x 3 and 26 x3.
In RHE we have learned about how emotions can be confusing especially as we get older. However, we can learn to react differently to our challenging feelings by being intentional.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, Layla. received a Bobby Bee certificate for being such a keen learner who always fully participates. You are so helpful towards all your class too.
Elsie received a certificate for really striving to improve in all she does and taking on board advice. You too Elsie you are so keen to learn and grow in understanding!
Faye received a Kiki Chameleon certificate for such original writing and making sure she uses the things she has been taught, in order to make her writing come alive!
Well done girls!
Swimming stars this week were Dominic and Archie. Excellent listening so that you can improve your strokes.
Music stars were for super clarinet playing.
Learned and Wise butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are learned in their actions, finding God in all things. Those who are wise, who use their learning for the common good. These children are the role models of the school, who drive their own learning and who have the wisdom to know when and how to apply one’s learning. This week we thank Layla and Cora for always working for the common good of our classroom.

Shakespeare at the Grand - featuring our year 4 class!
Please purchase tickets from the Grand Theatre to watch your child in Sandgrown Shakespeare on Thursday 9th March. The link is below. They will do 2 performances and need to be there for both of them. One showing is at 1pm and the other is at 6:00pm.
The way we usually work this is that we take the children to the Grand on the day early for a dress rehearsal. They stay at the Grand then until their performance at 1:00pm. Then we ask you to pick them up (around 3pm) and take them home - or out for tea maybe. They need to be back for 5:00 at the Grand to get ready for their performance at 6:00.
I will give more details nearer the time, but I have let you know so you can begin to plan who will pick them up in the afternoon and return them. Also who will pick up afterwards at around 7:30 - 8:00.
Judo classes - Friday 7:55am
Have a happy weekend. Please let Spring come quickly!
