Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their Roman day trip to Chester, where they experienced what it was like to be a Roman soldier in Britain!

Today, Year 4 took part in some in incredible Science day activities, all about space, to celebrate British Science Week! 

In Grammar this week, we have started to look at a going deeper year 4 skill of using relative clauses to add extra detail into our writing. We will continue to look at this skill next week!

This week in Science we explored the different stages of the water cycle and discussed the challenging question is the water we drink today the same water dinosaurs drank in the past! 

On Wednesday year 4 started planning for their independent writes. We had some insightful discussions and worked together on whiteboards to create some high level sentences using our year 4 skills together!

This week Year 4 have been practising their multiplication skills, some of us have even challenged ourselves to use our skills to answer difficult reasoning and problem solving questions!
