Spring Term
Week commencing 4th April 2022
The week got off to a great start with our much anticipated trip to Cadbury World. Normally reserved for the end of the day, we started our visit with a trip to the gift shop which was a good experience for the children to manage their money and put some of their decimal learning into place.
We then went to the George Cadbury room where we had an educational talk on the Rainforest that included their locations, weather, temperature and the animals that live their. The children got to see what a cocoa pod looks liked and use the animal props. Joey was selected as king (we had to bow down to him) and he got to wear a special headdress.
After lunch, we began our tour of the factory. We tempered and wrote our name in chocolate. We learned about the Cadbury family and the work they did to improve the lives of their families as well as experience the Cadabra ride amongst other things.
Our visit ended with the 4D experience where we all screamed our hearts out on the rollercoaster.
There is no homework over the Easter holidays apart from spellings and Times Table practise.

This week has been Faith Art week where we have brought art and religion together. Our overarching theme has been angles and the children have used various materials and techniques to draw different interpretations of angles. We had sketches, take your pencil for a walk, oil pastel transfer and painting over crayon. As a Year 4 cohort we worked in teams to create a wire sculpture of Mother Earth (angel of the Earth). The children really enjoyed seeing the angel come to life.
Homework this week is multiplication tables practise. Find the hidden picture by answering the multiplication questions and colouring in the answers in different colours.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Although a short week, we have made a good start on our learning of the rainforest. So far we have learned: what a rainforest is, where they are located in the world and about some of the plants and animals that live there. We are also starting to learn about deforestation and the disappearing rainforests through our class text The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry.
In maths, we have been focusing on commutativity by multiplying 3 separate numbers and the different ways those numbers can be arranged, i.e. 2x3x5, 3x2x5 and why they give the same answer.
In science, we have been learning about states of matter and the characteristics of solids, liquids and gasses. Why not ask your child if they can recall some fact to you.
Homework this week is English. Pages 25 & 35 are to be completed and returned to school no later than Wednesday 12th January 2022.
Spellings:
poisonous
dangerous
mountainous
marvelous
perilous
tremendous
enormous
jealous
precious
disastrous
Kind regards
