St John the Baptist CE VA Primary School Year 4

This week, Year 4 have been using practical resources to explore addition strategies. We’ve used bead strings, hundred squares and tens frames. The children have also been really enjoying their Mastering Number sessions and have been linking their doubling skills to their times tables.

They are also getting excited about exploring the use of charcoal to create light and shadow and linking this to their science work on rocks.

Year 4 have started the year with great enthusiasm! We learnt about growth and fixed mindset and created our own Learning Pits to help us think about the challenges of learning and how we could overcome them.
