Year 4 Hub
This week in Year 4:
Please note - on Monday 28th April, Year 4 will visit the Kitchen Garden at Chiswick House, as part of their science curriculum. This will be a fun learning afternoon for all. Please ensure children wear weather-appropriate suitable outdoor clothing in addition to normal school uniform.
We have thoroughly enjoyed a busy week of new experiences. On Tuesday the children started their 'Chance to Shine' Cricket training with Middlesex Cricket Club. It was huge amounts of fun in the sun! And on Thursday our 'Brain Buddies' course started. Over the coming weeks we will be discussing emotions and how to help ourselves and others in being positive and supportive if life gets a bit tricky.
And we have started a fresh Geography topic: 'London and the South East'.
Why not ask your child how many local counties they can name?
Homework is on a sheet this week (details below).
Have a lovely a week.
