We have been jumping and landing in PE; acting out the Easter Story in RE; looking for signs of Spring outside; decorating eggs and lots more!

 For being resilient.

 Year 4 is ce.using bar models to solve problems in a number of areas of our maths learning. To support this we discussed their use and had some practice.

 As we come closer to the phonics screening check, below are some useful materials that you can use to help your child with phonics.  The phonics check consists of both real and alien (not real words.) https://www.satspapers.org.uk/Page.aspx?TId=21  This website has all the past papers on.  https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5 Buried Treasure and Dragon's Den are great games for phonics. 

Our spellings this week do not follow a particular pattern but are words that are common spelt incorrectly by children in year 3 and 4. Difficult Separate Suppose Therefore Knowledge Length Strength Purpose History Different

We have been exploring pitch this week. We made musical instruments to create a table orchestra. The aim was to make sure that our musical instruments could create notes with a different pitch. Tight, thin objects made a higher pitcher and loose, thick objects made a lower pitch.

 Yesterday in maths, the children were using a ruler to measure the length of objects.  They also learnt the word centimeters.
