Welcome back Year 4. It has been an excellent first few weeks and we have worked really hard. In Maths, we have learned all about Place Value and Addition. In Context, we have started our top which is Recycling. The children have researched what we can reduce, reuse and recycle. They have also looked at data about recycling and used the rounding skills we learned in Maths to round the figures to the nearest 10 and 100. They have also looked at compass points to tell explain the direction of recycling centres from us. In English, we have started researching about Midway Atoll and prepared to write a Newspaper Report about the issues they have with plastic. In RE, we learned about Jesus' family tree.
