What a busy day! Water fights, McFlurries followed by bouncing in the sunshine. Check out some photos from our afternoon at Under One Roof.
A decision has been made to run all the year group water fights on the same day. To this end, the Year 4 water fight will now take place on Wednesday 13th NOT Thursday 14th. Children will need to come in dressed for the water fight and have a change of clothes. I also strongly suggest that they bring in and reapply sunscreen before we walk to Under One Roof in the afternoon as the weather is forecast to be very hot.
Dear Parents/Carers,
The end of term is slowly creeping up on us!
To celebrate the end of the year, on Wednesday 13th July we will be visiting Under 1 Roof for lots of inflatable fun!
On Thursday afternoon 14th July, we will be having a water fight on the school field and spending our behaviour cheques on ice creams. Please could children wear their PE kits to school and bring a towel, change of clothes, water gun (optional), and spare shoes in readiness for the water fight.
On Friday 15th we will be having a small party in class before the RAPS festival. We have discussed what food to bring and the\ children have chosen something from the list and written it onto a post-it to take home. If it doesn’t make it, don’t worry! Just bring in something of your choice.
Best wishes,
The Y4 Team
With our end of year musical rapidly approaching, here are the song lyrics and links to the tracks for the children to rehearse at home. Practice makes perfect!
Well, next week is the week! We will be taking the children out in small groups to complete their multiplication checks in line with new government assessment procedures.
This weekend is the children's last chance to practise. I suggest that they use this resource as it accurately mimics the test itself:
https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/477/Multiplication-Tables-Check
Go to 'adjust difficulty' and remove the 2, 5, 10 and 11 times tables as these will form only a very small part of the test itself.
This week is our Values week and here in Year 4, we have been looking at identity and belonging. We have thought about how people who are from different minority communities can be unfairly 'scapegoated' for the ills in society. In the exercise on the photograph we thought about ways can be more tolerant towards people who are different to us. We came to the conclusion that education and communication are key!

We created some amazing art to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. If you would like to see it, it will be on display in Ramsgate Train Station along with other artwork from the children at RAPS.
Today, we began looking at time. To help our understanding, we created our own analogue clocks. Firstly, we examined how the day is split into two 12 hour blocks, AM and PM.
We began constructing our clocks by splitting the clock face into ‘past’ and ‘to’, adding the hours and then the minutes around the edges. Interestingly, when we get past the half hour mark, the minutes start counting backwards as we get closer to the next hour!
Many of you will have seen the amazing shipwreck that Team Gunson created displayed in the RAPS main entrance area. Miss Marfleet took some amazing pictures of the children throughout the process. Why not check them out below?
This week we are continuing to look at prefixes with a focus on _sub (meaning under or beneath) plus our usual mix of Year 4 spelling words:
submarine, subdivide, submerge, subsoil, subtitle, medicine, special, position, famous, occasion
