Year 4 Spelling -  Spring 2 In the picture below, you can see the weekly focus for this half term and also a list of some of the words that match the learning. It is important that the children do not try to memorise these words. They are learning the rule and how to use the phonic skills of segmenting and blending to help them to spell. The Year 4 Team

 In year 4 today, we have had a busy last day. We were excited to join a virtual meet and greet session with James Davis. He is a children's author who writes sci-fi books about a girl called Scarlet. It was great to hear him speak about his inspirations for story writing and he even shared some top tips with us. After lunch, we then had a chance to share our creative homework. There were some fantastic pieces of work on show. Below are photos of just some of the pieces:

 Yesterday in year 4 we discussed internet safety day. We spoke about how to stay safe on the internet and the things we could do. Also, we spoke about the use of AI and how useful this can be for many people. Then, we discussed the dangers of AI and how people must this technology safely. Finally, we had a try at creating and designing our own safe AI apps. 

 We have been busy learning all about multiplication this week in maths. We used a range of concrete materials and pictorial representations to help us understand multiplying 2/3 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. In history, we researched and made factfiles about some of the Ancient Mayan gods.

  In science this week, we have been recapping our learning about habitats and what they are. Then, we spoke about our local habitats. We researched some key facts about these and created some amazing fact files in our books. It was great fun!

 Good morning,  Please see attached Year 4 creative homework for Spring 1.  The Year 4 Team.

We had a great time talking about and sharing our pieces of creative homework. We spoke the things we enjoyed about the homework and gave each other some lovely feedback. It was clear to see that everyone had worked so hard creating some amazing pieces of work- well done!  We would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your Chritmas wishes, cards and gifts, and we wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!  The Year 4 Team.
