Year Four have been studying the human body and in particular the layout and composition of milk and adult teeth. They have used clay to model their own rendition of their teeth!

As part of science, the children have been learning about electricity and wiring diagrams. The children were challenged to build their own electric fan, using wooden rods, balsa wood, elastic bands, wires and a power pack. The results are fantastic!

The whole school had a day fully devoted to Design and Technology (D&T). As Year Four are learning about the Second World War, amongst other projects, the children designed their own balsa wood amphibious landing crafts, to ferry troops across to France as part of the D-Day invasions.

As part of the tooth decay experiment #BSW17, the class cracked the eggs today to see the damage caused by the different liquids and also what happened to the eggs inside. It was unanimously decided that the egg that had been damaged most was the egg that had no fluoride protection and had been soaked in coffee. The staining was very apparent.

Most of us eat several times a day, but how does our digestive system actually extract energy and nutrients from this food? As part of British Science Week #BSW17, Year Four have undergone a series of experiments to follow the food’s complex journey through the digestive system.

As it is British Science Week #BSW17 , Year Four are learning about living things (more to follow on this subject!). Today saw the children learning about teeth and learning how to are for them properly. The children have carried out an experiment on eggs (The shell is not unlike teeth enamel) and have coated one of the two eggs with toothpaste to protect it, whilst the second egg has no protection. The eggs were then placed in cola, coffee and apple juice to see what the effects are on the eggs.

The pupils have been learning about sound and how it travels as part of their science module. Whilst learning about the ear, children had the opportunity to ‘see’ sound waves as they passed over a thin membrane and agitated the hundreds and thousands! Children learnt that by humming or moving their mouths would produce different movement results. 5 What happens if the clingfilm isn’t tight?

Reading 
Your child should bring a reading book and reading diary home with them everyday. To develop comprehension skills, it would be useful if you could read with your child two or three times a week and question them about what they have read. Please sign the reading diary when you have worked with your child or, if the child is reading independently, they can write a capital ‘H’ denoting they have read at home.

Spellings
Your child should bring a list of spellings home with them on a Monday. They are tested on these words the following Monday so please ensure they practice the words at home and have their spelling books in school every day. A good way of practising spellings is by using: look, say, cover, write, check- reading the word, saying the word, covering it and then having a go at writing it. The children also can use the pyramid  way of spelling their words as well.

Homework
Homework is given to your child every other Friday and children are given nearly two weeks to complete this. It should be returned on a Wednesday. Homework is set in a menu format where there are a number of optional activities to complete. Homework that is expected to be completed by everyone is as follows: spellings, learning of tables, /key number facts and reading.


Times Tables
Please continue to encourage your child to learn their times tables. Knowing them really helps in many aspects of maths. They are tested on their times table knowledge regularly. This includes knowing the division facts that relate to the multiplication. Children should also be able to ‘wire it up’ and carry out division operations as well as multiplication.

P.E
P.E. is usually on Mondays and Thursdays. However, please ensure your child has their P.E. kit in school at all times as we often have specialist teachers that visit on different days which involves extra P.E.!


If you have any concerns about your child, please don't hesitate to get in touch with either Mr Spamer or  Mrs Hurst.

 

We hope your child (or twins!) really enjoy their time in Year Four!
