Did you know that the amount of litter and fly tipping in the UK has surged since lockdown? We created this film to show the impact that this can have on nature and creatures.

Year 4 investigated the question, how much does air weigh? They used either weighing scales or a coat hanger as a balance scale to find out how much it weighs. Based on their findings they gave recommendations for if they were to do it again what would they do differently.
Year 4 have been using maps and symbols around the school grounds to help them navigate points in different locations. The children worked together to support each other and receive their objectives.
Year 4 have begun their summer term learning about how to write an emotive newspaper article. We have explored a short video about a mysterious creature washed up on a beach and are reporting the story using interesting language choices.
Year 4 have loved their PE sessions with Mr Killock in the sunshine!! They have been focussing on Invasion Games.
A very special letter arrived for Year 4 from Buckingham palace… we have opened it in class and are very excited to share it with the rest of the school in worship this week!
Year 4 have had a wonderful morning visiting Howard Park in Cleckheaton as part of the “Carry my Story” programme. It was great to see our buddies again, do some exciting activities with them and get to explore a different school. We especially loved meeting Eddy the school dog. Our staff were so proud of how polite and well behaved our children were. They were excellent representatives of Scissett CE Academy! Well done Year 4!
Our final writing topic for this half term was all about poetry. Year 4 studied the poem “The River” and explored rhyme, metaphor and personification. We created our own poems using these language features all about “The Ocean”. We’ve loved writing and performing our poetry.
Year 4 for have been learning about Indian art. We have explored Mehndi patterns and designed our own.
A VISIT FROM HOWARD PARK
Today year for had an exciting visit from our friends at Howard park. We have been paired with them for the carry my story project. So far we have communicated via letters so it was really special to get to meet our friends in person.
We spent the morning getting to know each-other, playing games and doing collaborative work.
We cannot wait to visit their school next week!
MATHS
In Maths this half term Year 4 have been focusing on multiplication and division. We have been developing our understanding by using pictorial, concrete and abstract approaches. We have then used our skills to help solve problems in our books.
READ ALL ABOUT IT - VICIOUS VIKINGS
As part of our Viking topic we have learned all about the Viking invasion.
Year 4 created their own newspaper articles, diaries and recounts to retell the events. They did a great job at presenting their work themselves and finding the important facts to include.
Year Four are really excited to start developing their tag rugby skills this half term with Mr Burrows.

Year 4 had a special visit from Reverend Sarah to discuss her role as a church leader. She told us all about her job and what she does on a daily and weekly basis.
The class had thought of lots of wonderful questions to ask her.

In Year 4 we love to read! So far this year we have been studying the book “Ice Palace”. We have been making predictions and retrieving information from the text. We have also been talking about other books we love and have made recommendations to our classmates. Ask us all about which books we chose.
