Week commencing 8th September 2025
We’ve had a brilliant first full week back at school, filled with exciting activities and plenty of opportunities to settle into Year 4 life. The classroom has been buzzing with energy, curiosity, and kindness as we’ve REACHed through faith, hope, and love in everything we’ve done.
In our RE lessons, we explored the story of Abraham, thinking deeply about how he might have felt and what life was like for him. We reflected on his journey and the courage it took to follow his faith-such a powerful way to begin our year.
On the pitch, we’ve been sharpening our football skills, focusing on marking players effectively. We practised front marking and goal-side marking, learning how to position ourselves like true defenders!
Our new unit on place value has begun! We’ve been representing, reading, and writing 4-digit numbers. Even when things got a little tricky, we showed amazing resilience and kept trying our best-well done, everyone!
In English, we’ve dived into the world of newspapers. We explored all the key features and retold the article “Heroic Schoolgirls Find Stolen Cash” using story maps and actions to help us remember. Then we used our plans to write up the newspaper report-fantastic work!
Times tables are a big focus in Year 4, and we’ve started practising them with enthusiasm. Don’t forget-you can keep practising at home using Maths Frame to boost your confidence and speed!
We’ve been exploring storytelling through drawing, looking at artists who use images to share powerful messages. Our sketchbooks are already filling up with creative visual notes that show how thoughtful and imaginative we are.
Thank you for reading our class blog-we can’t wait to share more next week. Have a lovely weekend!
From all of Year 4
