4CB have enjoyed celebrating Red Nose Day today!
We began the day by learning about a child called Ethan, who attends a 'Steps' centre which is funded by Comic Relief. The centre has helped him improve his walking, as well as supporting many other children with their development.
We then had a joke competition! 4CB have a great sense of humour, and choosing a winning was difficult.
The votes were very close, but we eventually decided on our favourite class joke, the winner was....
Dereck!
Why was Cinderella so bad at soccer?
Because she was always running away from the ball!
Well done, 4CB :)

This week, 4CB have been learning the art of weaving.
We created our own paper looms, and used the skill of measuring and cutting to create a beautiful piece of weaving. We also edited our designs against the design specification, and tried to improve them to make them even more amazing.
Can you spot your design below?

Bus Stop Division (with place value counters)
Date: 13th Dec 2020 @ 5:07pm
This week, year 4 have been exploring everything about divisions. On Friday, we focussed on how to divide using the bus stop method. We used place value counters to help us.
Can you practice this at home?
Date: 9th Dec 2020 @ 5:19pm
This week, year 4 have been learning how to divide using a numberline.
To start off this tricky piece of maths, we created a human numberline using a skipping rope! The children have worked super hard, and are now tackling difficult divisions in their maths books.
Can you use the steps to success to practice at home?

This half-term in Science, Year 4 are learning all about 'Animals including Humans.'
We have explored the digestive system, and now we have begun to look at food chains and food webs. On Friday, 4CB had a go at creating their own food chain - by making paper chains!
They worked super hard, and learnt a lot of new facts in the process.
Can you think of a food chain?
Date: 6th Nov 2020 @ 10:39am
This half-term, year 4 are exploring 'what is there in North America?' with a focus on earthquakes.
To launch this unit, we watched a video of earthquakes that have happened around the world, and then a school drill of what to do in case there's an earthquake.
Year 4 then played some times tables games, while Mrs Frangillo surprised us all by creating an earthquake siren! We had to quickly hide underneath the table, just in case.
There were lots of screaming - but we were super fast at protecting ourselves! We will have to watch out this half-term, in case Mrs Frangillo surprises us with another earthquake siren, during our learning.
