Remote learning 25th September 2026

 

Week commencing 15th September 2025

What a brilliant week we have had in Year 4! 

In English we have written our instructions on how to make a Stone Age Teepee. We made sure to include imperative verbs, time conjunctions, adjectives, adverbs and ensured the steps were in chronological order. We made sure to think about our letter formation and presentation as they are going up on display outside the classroom. 

In Maths we have been rounding 3-digit and 4-digit numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We have used a rhyme to help us remember... find the number, look right next door, 5 or more raise the score! 4 or less, let it rest! 

We have been continuing our learning of buildings in the Stone Age and have followed our instructions to create our own Mesolithic Stone Age Teepee! 

In Science, we had a fun experiment where we learnt about chemical reactions and how energy can be used to change a liquid into a solid. We turned cream into butter by vigorously shaking it for a minute at a time until it made the change of state. We discussed how we knew a chemical reaction had taken place because the colour had changed from cream to yellow. 

Such a fantastic week of learning!

Week commencing 2.9.2025 and 7.9.2025

What a great first couple of weeks we have had in Year 4!

We have been busy learning all about prehistoric homes, including caves, teepees and roundhouses. We have learnt that the Stone Age lasted from 3 million BC to 3,000BC and was split into three time periods, the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. 

 .  

Additionally, we have explored Skara Brae and how it was discovered, as well as its importance. Next week we will be looking in depth at the similarities and differences between Skara Brae and our own homes.

                                          

In English, we have looked into how Stone Age Teepees were made and have begun planning and writing an instructional text on how to make a Stone Age Teepee! 

In maths, we have started looking at place value. We have been practising ordering 4-digit numbers and finding 1000 more or less to 4-digit numbers. 

                       

In science, we learnt about the states of matter and the differences between solids, liquids and gas. 

                          

Next week we will be making our Teepees so make sure you come back to see the final product! 

What a great first two weeks we've had so far.
