WEEKLY NEWS
Friday 25th October
We've reached the end of a brilliant first half-term in Year 4. In literacy we have completed our writing on the Beast of Bodmin Moor story. This has provided the opportunity to work on sentence structure, adverbials, multiclause sentences and lots of figurative language. In maths we have reinforced our understanding of 4-digit place value with some tricky problem solving and interpretation of graph data. In science we have recapped on our humans and animals, specifically the digestive system, teeth, food chains and food webs. We have also made a start on our work for remembrance, listening to some wartime songs which we will be rehearsing after half-term. In Godrevy we have finished our Railway Revolution with children asking questions to children in role as famous Victorians who gave their opinions on locomotives and the growing railway network. A special mention to River who made a very convincing Charles Dickens! Mr Smith gave the children a final opportunity to fire up their steam engines and thankfully we didn't set off the sprinklers. In
our final session with Mr Potts, we played some two v one and two v two
defending and attacking games. In R.E we learned about the bible story of
Adam and Eve and the 'fall of mankind.' Have a wonderful half-term. The
children have definitely earned their break.

Spellings
Spellings are no longer being sent home in the traditional manner. Instead, the class will work on five spellings one week and a single rule or letter string the following week with a short, random test administered on Fridays.
We will be starting at the beginning of Mr Smith's Spelling document. All rules (and letter strings) can be found within the Spelling Exemplar document above.
Focus Five
There are 100 statutory words children in years three and four should know how to spell. You can download a full list here.
Every other week, we will work on five of these in class (and hopefully at home, too).
