Today the children practiced their exchanging skills by competing against a partner to be the first to reach a given total. To reach their total they were required to exchange the following: ten ones for one ten, ten tens for one hundred and ten hundreds for one thousand.
This week in Learning Means The World, the children have been practising, adapting and improving their printing skills. The children used lino pads and carving tools to create multi-layered block printed pictures. Well done Year 4.

It’s been a super creative week in 4 Blue, we’ve been creating not just in Learning Means the World but in English too. We’ve been tackling some Art during Learning Means the World this week and have been looking at Johannes Gutenberg and the invention of the printing press, discussing the mechanics of its use and doing some printing ourselves! Here are some of the pieces of artwork your children have created. 4 Blue have persevered, been innovative and resilient all week – well done 4 Blue!

This morning we had a visit from Reverend Ian at St John’s church. He talked about how God created people in his image. He talked about how people are special and how you see their images on coins etc. He then talked about how everyone is special, how we have to treat everyone with kindness and look after everyone.
This week we’ve been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10. After completing some tricky challenges in our books, we practiced our skills using some rounding games.
