    We had an online meeting on Thursday to discuss the details of the Grafham residential trip.  We have attached the zoom video.  The forms for dietary requirement and medicines have been sent out, if you need another form please contact the office.  If you have any further questions please email them to the Year4@buckdenacademy.org

    In English, we have been exploring empathy by understanding the feelings of the characters in our Power of Reading book.  The children have discussed how our actions can make others feel.

    In Maths, we have been working hard on our fractions.  We have learnt how to find the value of the parts: within a whole and greater than a whole.

    On our Topic day, we focused on the Suffragettes and how their actions have affected us.

    2. Reading record

    ­­We have had an exciting week with World Book Day on Thursday. Throughout the day, we celebrated the joy of reading.

    We started the morning with awarding the winners of the school writing competition, Aiden in Year 4 won 3rd place.

    Then the whole Year 4 gathered into one classroom and enjoyed hot chocolate and biscuits whilst sharing our favourite books.  Afterwards, there was a book swap where the children were able to swap their book for another one that had been brought in by others.  The children liked the idea of reusing each other’s book and saving the environment.

    Finally, we watched a live event on the World Book Day website where author Nathan Byran and illustrator Dapple Adiola spoke about where they got their inspiration from for the stories and illustrations.

    Happy reading!
