We hope that everyone has had a good half term. This week our learning is as follows;
- In mathematics we work on column addition of numbers up to four digits. We will also learn to solve missing number problems involving column addition.
- In English we will continue our work based on the Boy at the Back of the Class. We will use role play and respond to poetry.
- In science we will begin a new unit of work on Teeth and Eating.
- Our blocked foundation subject this week is geography. We will develop our maps skills and look at co-ordinates, position and direction.
Both year 4 classes will do PE on Wednesday. Millenium Class will have their final swimming lesson on Tuesday and Southwark Class will do PE on Thursday.
In relationship and health education this week we will be following the NSPCCs PANTS curriculum. This is designed to help children to stay safe from sexual abuse in a non-explicit and age appropriate way. Further information can be found at;

This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will round numbers to the nearest 100 and the nearest 10.
- In English we will write a diary entry in role as Ahmet from The Boy at the Back of the Class.
- In science we will complete our investigation of sound by making musical instruments.
- In RE we will continue with our Challenge Unit “Why do you judge me.” This week we will be thinking about Black History Month and learning about Doreen and Neville Lawrence and their fight for justice for their son Stephen.
Southwark Class will do PE on Wednesday and Thursday and Millenium Class on Wednesday and Friday. Children should wear PE kit on those days. There will be no swimming this week due to the closure of Whitgift School for half term.
Please could the children bring in small boxes for making musical instruments in science.
