Welcome to Meadow 4!
We welcomed Tracy in to Year 4 from the Earth Energy Education team. She taught us lots about Solar Power and the importance of renewable energy and what non-renewable energy sources are. We enjoyed investigating circuits, using buzzers, lights and motors powered by solar cells.
For our science topic this half term we are looking at electricity. We will be creating circuits, using bulbs and motors. We will also be seeing what materials are good electrical conductors and which are not.
In numeracy we are now looking at strategies we can use to help us with division calculations.
We have spent a lot of time looking at groups of and numbers of groups. It’s quite tricky to work out the difference between the two. We also learnt some new mathematical vocabulary like quotient, divisor and dividend.
Thank you to everyone who came in and stayed to read and listen to a Dragonologist report at the end of last half term. What a fantastic job your children did. I was so impressed with their determination to show you their very best work and to apply to their writing and presentation all of the tips and skills they had been learning about. Well done everybody.
