Year 4 2017-2018

Welcome to Year 4!

This year the class is being taught by Miss Bill, with support from Miss Hall, Mrs Maguire and Miss Flaherty.

We have had a very busy Autumn Term! We have enjoyed learning about the Stone Age and how people in Britain lived thousands of years ago. Coming forward in time, we have also looked at Britain today, in particular the importance of the River Mersey to the city of Liverpool.


In Science we have explored and experimented with solids, liquids and gases and answered some tricky questions: Where do puddles go? Where is the best place to dry soggy socks? What happens when Miss Bill forgets to put the ice cream back in the freezer?

In Maths we have worked hard mastering place value and using our knowledge to help us with addition and subtraction. We have used our skills to solve problems and reason. We are all working really hard to learn all of our timestables by the end of the year.

Our writing this term has improved so much! We all enjoyed writing our own stories based around Flood by Alvaro F. Villa. We also wrote holiday brochures persuading people to visit the idyllic island of Sicily, with its shimmering, sapphire seas and soft, golden sunshine. Who could resist?

Homework is sent out on a Friday and should be returned to school on a Wednesday.

Sadly, we have now finished swimming but will continue with throwing and catching and gym skills in PE.
