This week in Year 4.... (WC. 24.04.26)

Welcome back!

In maths, we are continuing to look at decimals. I have been impressed with Year 4's focus and reasoning as we looked at rounding decimals. 

In writing, we have started a continuing  unit of non-fiction writing as we explore writing a biography of Nikola Tesla, inspired by the book 'A Life Electric'. 

Continuing with our whole school approach using the "Write Stuff" programme, the children have enjoyed writing effective sentences for using personification, fronted adverbials and repetition for impact, as well as writing independent perspective pieces.
