Year 4

Well, we’re back in school and settling in nicely!

Homework this week is to cover your maths homework book and your learning log book.  As these books will be going home weekly and will be bashed around inside bags we need them to be strongly covered, therefore we suggest you use either wallpaper to cover them, or decorate them and then cover with sticky backed plastic.  The children can decorate them by drawing on them, gluing pictures on etc with a theme of their choice.  Their name and the name of the bok should be clear please though.

We post homework every week on here so keep checking on a Friday for information in case your children forget!  Also on here you will find spelling lists and Year 4 general information.

Have a good weekend and we’ll see you on Monday.

Miss Price, Mrs Watterson and Mrs Wallace.

Thank you for all the lovely cards and presents, and a special thank you to The Smileys who actually made me cry with their songs!

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and come back safe and sound in September, ready for lots of hard work in Blwyddyn 5.

Mrs Wallace

Wow Year 4, you were absolutely fantastic, both on and off the stage!  I was so proud of you all – your dance looked wonderful from the wings and I’m sure it was even better from the seats in the audience.  I hope you have another super performance on Wednesday evening too.  Well done to you all and also to Mrs Williams for all her hard work

Mrs Wallace

Just a quick note to remind you (and reassure your parents!) that we have not set any written homework this weekend. Some of you have a very busy week coming up, with the Athletics meeting on Tuesday and the Dance Festival on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, so we thought you needed a rest this weekend!

You can still carry on with reading and learning spellings and tables though!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Wallace

The homework this week is to evaluate an advertisement of your own choice.  It can be from the television, radio, a magazine or newspaper or any of the other places we’ve talked about this week. Then you have an advertisement to complete with the best adjectives you can think of so that everyone will want to buy your product!

Enjoy the weekend,

Mrs Wallace

Hello everyone, I’ve been busy looking at the Year 4 blogs in other schools and I’ve put some links to them in the panel on the right hand side. We have had some comments from children at Old Moat School, so perhaps you’d like to have a look there and leave them a comment.

Mrs Wallace

We all had a super day at Ness Gardens, despite the drizzle on and off during the day. While we were there we had a go at pond dipping and found out about the weather station which submits data to the Met office and saw a fantastic range of trees, shrubs and flowers. We were able to collect some samples of leaves and flowers which we have used for art work back in school, as well as creating poems inspired by our visit.

Mrs Wallace

I hope you’re all enjoying your half term holiday – it’s been a strange mixture of hot sunshine and rainy weather!

Don’t forget we’ll be going on our trip to Ness Gardens on Tuesday to do lots of work which links with our science and geography topics. Everyone will need a packed lunch, so if you are out shopping this weekend you could be thinking of some tasty healthy treats to bring with you. We’ll give you more information about what you need on Monday. See you soon!

Mrs Wallace

Class 4PW had a lovely afternoon at Hawarden High School baking a cake. The children worked in pairs and were able to select from a wide range of dried fruits to add to the usual ingredients to bake a healthy cake. It was wondeful to be able to work in a specialised environment with everything to hand and I am very grateful to Mrs Ellis for inviting us and teaching the class. I’m sure they all enjoyed eating the cakes with their families and will be looking forward to using the facilities at the High School again in the future.

Mrs Wallace

I’m really impressed with all the research you have done about your chosen country.  Your booklets showed that lovely work can be produced with or without a computer!  In 4PW we delayed using them to learn from each other’s research because a few children hadn’t quite finished them in time, but we will be using them on Monday and then they will be part of a super display.
