As the year steams towards its end, we have been very busy in year 4.
We have had a full week of SRE and have learned about families, relationships and areas of our bodies that our private. We have thought about appropriate touching and we have practised saying 'no' in lots of different scenarios. We will continue to think about the changes in puberty and the mechanics of reproduction.
We are finishing our 'Road Trip USA' topic by thinking about the culture of native American people and making totem poles out of clay and paper.
In maths, we have been learning how to use co-ordinates to describe and translate shapes.
In science, we created and carried out our own investigations into jumping, running and climbing.
We are looking forward to the fun run tomorrow afternoon on the Common.
Please could the children bring in plastic bags on Tuesday, so that they can take home all of their lovely work.

This week, the children have all experienced a taste of life in their new classes, as we all had three transition days.
The new Giraffes and Lions spent the time playing 'getting to know you' games, doing maths puzzles, writing stories and representing themselves through artwork. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other.
Of course, the year is not yet over, and we are back in our usual classes now.
A reminder that, next week, we will be undertaking a week of sex and relationships education, and the children will be learning about saying 'no', gender stereotyping, rules around touching and consent, puberty and how babies are made.

Over the last week, we have been tremendously busy.
In maths, we have begun to look at triangles and quadrilaterals. We have even figured out the difference between a rhombus and a parallelogram. Get your child to tell you!
In English, we have been finding about environmental heroes across the world. the children will be writing their own books about one of these social entrepreneurs.
In topic, we are thinking about native Americans and their crafts. Last Friday, we began to make dream catchers. We are also going to be making totem poles.
We are all now looking forward to next week, when we will spend Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with our new classes.
