Y4 class: Children are coming up with: 4c - 6; 3a - 3; 3b -8; 3c -1; 2a - 5; 2b - 4; 2c - 1; less than 2c - 2. However, two are leaving & I've got either 2 or three new children starting in September. 24 of the class are boys - the 24 has become 25!

The (nearly) Half Term Update! I've had so much fun with writing again so far this year! Our 'Big Writes' (with cross-curricular links) have included: & this week we'll be writing an explanation leaftet for Year 3 all about our Science topic on light (this doubles as our Science assessment) & probably a Polish myth next week.
 * Battle of Bosworth - as a recount (Tudors);
 * Description of Poland's landscapes (Geography);
 * A letter home about the Christmas Truce of 1914 (RE) + one other RE story;
 * The Diary of Anne Boleyn in the Tower of London (Tudors) (some of the girls wore their Anne Boleyn outfits for this!)

Best of all....we've been talking about our special memory 'bubbles' for Year 4 so far.. and the children volunteered drama, art, a faith assembly and OVERWHELMINGLY the thing they've loved the most this term has been writing!! Although I've always found the boys every bit as able as the girls with their writing...with 25 boys this year, their enthusiasm for writing can't be bad! Long may it continue!
