This week, we discovered that you can protect the calcium in an egg by coating it with flouride from toothpaste. We soaked treated and untreated eggs in acetic acid (vinegar) and compared their shells. Can you tell which is which?

We have spent some time this week looking at newspapers and have begun to write our own accounts of the wolf attack on the Icelandic village. The children have had great fun inventing characters to interview.

In maths, the children have been finding ways to  multiply 2 digit numbers by single digits. They have used a range of apparatus and have begun to use formal written methods.

 We have also carried out some mathematics assessments, and the children are all very proud of the impressive progress that they have made.

We have reminded the children to keep practising their times tables. There is still plenty of room in the 66 club! 

Don't forget that our year 4 assembly will be at 2.15pm on Friday 1st February. We look forward to seeing you then.
