Welcome to Year 4

Class Teacher: Mr. Scurrah.

T.A. Mrs. Jones.

 

 

We have reached the last half term of this academic year but we don't intend to slow down yet. In fact, in Year 4 we have our foot on the accelerator and we intend to keep it there until the end of term!

 

In Literacy the children will learn how to write persuasive letters and design leaflets to encourage you to visit a tourist attraction. In Numeracy our focus is 'Shape, Angles and Symmetry' with some links to D.T. when we design and make 3d models of local buildings. 

 

Our focus in Humanities is a local history study which will take us on a tour of Wyke finding out as much as we can about local buildings, their purpose, architectural style and era. If you have any knowledge about the history of Wyke, or photos of the area past or present, we would love to hear from you.

 

Below please find our current topic web. Also some photos of three famous buildings we will learn about and a slide show of year 4 on their geography field trip to Malham Cove. 

Latest news - I can now confirm the trip to Shibden Hall, 8th July. We will be taking part in workshops about the history of homes long ago. Sounds great!

(Letters will be going out soon.)

The Water Cycle

Watch and make note of the key words.

Time flies here at Worthinghead Primary School - it's hard to believe that we are about to start the Summer Term! Learning in our school environment is always fun and if you scroll down you will see photographs of children engaged in various activities including 'Science-in-Puddles' and 'Woodcraft'. There is also a photo of Narinder who came to talk to us about Sikhism.

 

This term we shall be visiting The Yorkshire Dales to see the famous geographical feature and source of the River Aire, Malham Cove. This will be an exciting way to develop our skills as geographers and extend our knowledge about The Water Cycle.

 

Literacy and Numeracy skills are progressing well and Mrs. Jones and Mr. Scurrah have been delighted to see children's confidence grow in these two core areas. Homework, P.E. and Spelling Test are on the same days as last term and all other routines remain the same.

Year 4 worked well and made good progress last half term with some excellent examples of poetry in Literacy, splendid Mayan calendars made of clay for History/Art and some very organised science investigations about sound. 

 

This half term has more exciting learning ahead with topics such as: Geography - 'The Americas', Science - 'States of Matter' and Literacy - 'Recounts' which will include explorers' recounts of their adventures. 

 

Homework and P.E. are on the same day and routines continue as last half term. A visitor has been booked for the second week back to teach children some more amazing facts about 'The Science of Sound' in a practical and fun hands-on way. 

The Americas

Year 4 creating their own versions Mayan calendars from clay. The symbols devised by the children are based on real Mayan symbols.
