Welcome to the Year 4 Class Page

Mrs Dodson, Mr Ivers, Mrs Nolan and Mrs Prestwich welcome you to Year 4. We have lots of new and exciting topics to study throughout the year, from the Ancient Greeks to Rainforests, from Romans to Volcanoes! We also get to go swimming every week!

An outside Maths lesson - learning all about angles as turns. We drew clocks on the ground and had to follow instructions like full turn, half turn, quarter turn. We then introduced clockwise and anti-clockwise. The final step was to turn the turns to angles, turn 360 degrees clockwise or turn 90 degrees anti-clockwise. 

Our classroom looks great, we have 2 displays of our brilliant art work. Greek urns decorated with repeated patterns and Rainforest pictures inspired by the artist Ruth Daniels.

We love to take our learning outside of the classroom whenever we can - WOW Maths lessons, visits to the church, completing our 50 things to do before we leave Crossley St activities.

As part of our Science topic, Sound, we had a whole morning workshop with Sam. Everyone got to take part in a different investigation at the front of the class. We made some very funny noises on unusual instruments and everyday items!

As an introduction to our new History topic, Ancient Greece, we made tzatziki and sampled traditional Greek food. It was a tasty start to studying.

To end our Maya topic, we made hieroglyphs. Each hieroglyph represented a word. We painted them to look like expensive, well preserved artefacts.

We took part in a national times tables competition called 'England Rocks'. We were challenged to answer as many questions as possible over 3 days, one hour maximum play per day. It really helped with our speed of recall as well as being lots of fun!

Our first Maths topic is Place Value. We had great fun visiting the Nature Area finding natural resources to represent numbers up to 1000.
