Week 1 of Year four 

What a fantastic start to the new school year we have had in Ash Class! The children have settled into Year 4 brilliantly and have already impressed us with their positive attitudes. They have been listening carefully, working hard and getting to know all of our new classroom routines and expectations.

In English, we have been focusing on taking pride in the presentation of our work and practising our neatest handwriting. We have also started our first piece of story writing, using lots of lovely ideas and vocabulary to make our writing interesting for the reader.

In Maths, we have combined our learning with getting to know our new classmates a little better! We collected data about each other, asking questions and recording our findings, before learning how to present the information clearly in a bar chart.

In Science, we have already begun our first unit of the year, learning about the human skeleton. We had great fun working together to draw around our friends to create life-sized bodies before adding a skeleton and identifying and labelling some of the key bones.

It has certainly been a busy first week, but a really positive one. We are very proud of how well everyone has settled in and what a brilliant start they have made to Year 4 in Ash Class!
