Looking Back and Forth 31st October - Year 4
Sunday 31st October – Looking Back & Forth in Year 4
Looking back: The children worked very hard to get everything ready for their part in the Exhibition. Mrs Cooper and I were incredibly proud of the children’s hard work and efforts. We hope you enjoy viewing the exhibition on Monday.
Building On
- Publishing our work – building on presentation skills
- Sculpturing leaves – building on our work with Faith Bebbington
- Completing our Europe and electricity units – building on everything we have learnt this term.
Questions to ask at home
- What was your favourite piece of work for the exhibition?
- Why?
- Which other classes display did you enjoy?
Looking forward:
This week, we will be starting a new topic in English. We will be looking at two new books ‘Boys who dare to be different’ and ‘Goodnight stories for rebel girls’ and learning the skills of biography writing. In maths, we will be looking at negative numbers, as well as arithmetic skills with Mrs Riddell. We will then start to work on our addition and subtraction skills more.
In the afternoons, the children will be completing atlas work for their Europe studies, as well as beginning a new topic in science on ‘changing states of matter’.
This term the children will have their PE session on a Tuesday afternoon.
Reminder – Non-Uniform day for Garner on Thursday
Homework in Year 4
Reading – daily at least 15 mins – remember to take the Accelerated Reader Quizzes
Rockstars – as much as possible 10 mins daily is ideal – at least once a week for 20 mins
Spellings – Mrs Riddell – Please learn them for the test on Wednesday. It is better to look at them for 5 minutes each day than try to learn them all in one night. The children remember them better learnt over the week.

Exhibition – Year 4
You are warmly invited to visit our display of the children’s work in the school hall (junior side). Under our Covid risk assessment we are inviting just one adult from each family and requesting masks are worn indoors. You are welcome to collect your child to look at the exhibition with you—please come to the reception desk and someone will admit you then you and your child can have a look around the exhibition together.
Every class has one day over the next few weeks to visit – our class day is on Monday 1st November. There is an open morning, for all families on Friday 22nd between 9 and 12. (Please see timetable for the classes below)
This is a display of work studied by all year groups but because of current restrictions the format is different to past exhibitions. We have all worked very hard on this display and it showcases our children and their talents beautifully. We are so pleased to be able to put an exhibition on again and we are very proud of all the work the children have produced. We hope you will be able to come and join us for this event. The children have also worked with an artist to prepare a large art piece and a dance specialist on their main theme. Our main area of study has been Europe.
