James & the Giant Peach w/ Taika & Friends ft. Nick Kroll, Liam & Chris Hemsworth

Hey Year 4, thought you may or may not be interested in this reading of James & the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. The reading features some celebrities playing characters who you may or may not recognise and there's going to be ten episodes in total. It's really well read by Taika Waititi and is really funny, every episode has some new special guests to play the parts. Hope you enjoy it!

Learning packs and grids will be uploaded onto the class blog and emailed out every week.

If you are not sure about any of the worksheets please do not hesitate to email. Responses will be made either via email or a video explaining the specific worksheet/task in greater detail.

Please keep an eye on the blog over the coming weeks as this will be a vital form of communication given the circumstances.

Obviously these are strange times for all, we hope that you and your family stay safe and we hope to see you all again soon.

The Year 4 Team.

Announcement: Year 4 Greek Parthenon Building Workshop - November 27th

As part of this term's learning in Year 4, we are delighted to confirm with you that we have booked a Greek Parthenon Building Workshop for the afternoon on November 27th. Children will work individually, in teams and altogether to construct a very large model of the famous Temple of Athena in Athens, name the Parthenon, complete with columns, pedaments and capitals. During the process pupils will learn about the different parts of the building and walking through the structure. There will be problem solving, teamwork and a great celebration when they raise the roof using the 2m high columns.

We're excited for this opportunity for the children and hope you can support them in being able to attend.

Thank you for your support as always,

The Year 4 Team.

For those who didn't attend, some key points:

Every Wednesday Home Learning Books need to be returned, the Homework Grid has been loaded up onto the blog (see below).
Every Wednesday morning a timestable test will take place, use the website www.timestables.co.uk if you wish to support your child in learning these. The website provides a range of activities as well as a test, which can be customised to support your child further, timings and timestables can be edited.
Every Thursday morning a spelling test takes place (see below for spellings).

Finally, it's been an exciting first full week in Year 4! We've begun our Ancient Greek topic by investigating how chronology works and also had a fantastic street dancing workshop where everyone was busting a move.

We're very excited for a fantastic year ahead, have a lovely weekend.

The Year 4 Team
