 January in Year 4

February in Year 4

During February, Year 4 have been exploring Sound in their Science lessons. The children have looked at how sound travels, the difference between pitch and volume and how they can change these and have also looked at the parts of the ear and how each part works to enable us to hear sound.

In Literacy, the children have written their own version of ‘There’s a Viking in my bed’ called ‘There’s a Viking in my school’. Additionally, they have also been exploring the text Norse Mythology for kids and writing their own character descriptions about Thor and Odin.

 

In Maths, the children have been focussing on their times tables knowledge, equivalent fractions, counting in hundredths, rounding  to nearest 10, 100 and 1000 and ordering and comparing decimal numbers.

In Computing, the children have been using Paint to edit photographs by using the cropping tool, inserting images and changing the contrast of the image.

 

In Art, the children have been inspired by the creatures of the rainforests and have been drawing detailed sketches of interesting sections of one picture using a view finder. The children focussed on using different materials and tools to show texture.

In Music, the children have listened and appraised a piece of music by Bill Withers called ‘Lean on me’. The children played along side the piece on their recorders and then composed their own accompanying music to play along with it.
