In 4J, we have been looking at soundscapes for music. This includes using body parts in different ways to create a new sound. The children were able to use their hands and feet to create a storm like sound.
We hope you enjoy it!

Art Shirts!
Good morning,
On Thursday, 4J and 4NJ will be using paints in an art lesson. Could all children please bring in a suitable art shirt for the lesson. This could be an old t-shirt or shirt that you don’t mind getting messy!
If some children don’t have a shirt, they will complete the activity without paint.
Happy Monday!

Art in 4J!
Today, the children took their pencil on a walk. They had to imagine they were walking around a park or in a city. They then were able to colour each section.
The only rule… they couldn’t take their pencil off the page! Have a look at a few examples below… 4J thinks one looks like a dinosaur!
Harvest Poem!
All of year 4 will be coming home with their Harvest Poem for this year! This one is called I hate Greens!!
4S – Start the poem and the final two stanzas.
4NJ – Second and final two stanzas.
4J – Third stanza and the final two.
Here is a copy…
This week in 4J…
Well 4J… what a week we have had! We have been busy in all areas of the curriculum!
In maths, we started the week looking at negative numbers and roman numerals. Those pesky Romans wanted to confused but we wouldn’t let them! We know the tricky numbers are 4, 40, 400, 9, 90 and 900!
In English, we started the week researching penguins or polar bears. This then led to the children looking at how valuable diagrams are (see below picture). The children ended the week with a non-chronological report (see below picture).
I wonder what we will get up to next week 4J?
Enjoy your weekend!

Yoga in 4J!
To celebrate world mental health day on Saturday 10th October, 4J went to complete some yoga! We had a great time retelling the story of Star Wars (Episode 4) in yoga poses. Have a look at our moves below…
This week in 4J!
Well… what a great week we have had! 4J have been learning lots of new skills in all areas of the curriculum.
In science, the children were looking at how the eye works! They were able to explain many parts of the eye including the retina and iris.
We were looking at reading longitude and latitude in topic (which was quite tricky). But… we persevered through it and found lots of places using a world map!
In maths, the children were looking at how to round to 10, 100 and 1000. Below you will find a couple of videos that explain our method.
Have a lovely weekend 4J! Well done for working super hard!

Art in 4J!
What an afternoon in 4J… we were mapping out a journey! We started off with the roads and added symbols for what we might see on the way.
We were so impressed with our drawings, we just had to share some of them!
Have a lovely weekend 4J!

Excellent work in Year 4!
This week, we have been reading the story of Ernest Shackleton and his crew! The children have loved learning about how ‘Endurance’ faced many challenges as they tried to cross 1800 miles over Antarctica.
Today, the children all became members of the crew and completed a diary entry. Below you will find a couple of examples from children in 4J.
Keep up the great work Year 4!
