Year 4 Hub
This week in Year 4:
We marked Mental Health Awareness (all wearing yellow on Thursday) by exploring 'bounce-back-ability'! ... why resilience can help us when things don't quite go our way, and how celebrating our strengths and abilities is always very important. The children enjoyed several activities and discussions about different situations and scenarios. What could we do if....? This included discussing the importance of being there for each other, and helping spread positivity and kindness in our school and community.
We also really enjoyed starting our first 'big write' of Year 4. The children are creating their version of Anthony Browne's 'Gorilla'. Why not ask your child what a noun phrase is, ask them to give you an example of a fronted adverbial, or check in with them about how their story is developing? We have a class full of future authors!
Children have a Maths 3 times table worksheet (in books) and English work to complete for homework this week in addition to spelling words to learn. There is also optional History homework which many of the children have already shown an interest in completing. Please see below.
