Year 4: Miss Grey/Mrs Kelly
Hello and a big welcome to our Y4 page! We all work very hard in Y4 and have lots of fun! On our page, you will find all of the exciting and interesting things we have been up to at school and any important information you may need.
Important information
PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure children bring to school a suitable PE kit on these days.
Children have logins for TTRS, Spelling Shed and Accelerated Reader. They should access these three times a week as part of their homework.
Children will be sent home with their Maths target book on Tuesdays to practise at home. These need to be returned on Friday so the children can be assessed and their target changed.
Home learning will be set on this page as and when it is needed.
In our DT lessons, we have been designing and making different catapults. We enjoyed testing them out in the sunshine!
We have been looking at light and shadows in Science this half term and have designed and created a shadow puppet show. We had to think about where to hold the torch to create different sized shadows in our show.

We carried out an investigation to see if different surfaces effected the distance a car would travel. We used a toy car, a ramp and different materials. Our variable was the material as that was the only thing we were changing. We found out that the carper slowed the car down the most, therefore, had the most friction.
