Handwriting Competition Winners

The standard of the entries in our handwriting competition was very high! Thank you to everyone for making such a huge effort to master our new joined cursive style of handwriting.

A number of children produced writing which will result in them being awarded a Pen Licence. This means that they will be able to graduate from working in pencil in their English exercise books to writing in pen - in the new joined handwriting style of course!  The licences will be presented in assembly very soon!

Congratulations to our winners,  Zara and Alessandro!

Handwriting Competition

Congratulations to all the children in  Year 4 who have all been practising our new style of cursive handwriting! I am pleased to announce that we are going to hold a handwriting competition this term.

All you have to do is copy out our "Tudor Lullaby " in your very best handwriting to be in with a chance of winning some  festive chocolate treats and the chance to earn the very first Wigton Moor pen licence!

Welcome To Year 4 2013-14

Welcome to our 2013-14 Year 4 blog. A new school year, with lots of exciting learning opportunities to look forward to!
We have already enjoyed using the new iPads to boost our Mathletics scores and are looking forward to using them on a regular basis to enhance our learning.
Our trip to Oakwell Hall is approaching and we will be using a variety of sources to carry out research about the Tudors.

Keep visiting our blog to share in the fun we are having in school!

Our Favourite Authors

We are beginning our look at famous authors by finding out about Dick King Smith. We are examining extracts from a number of his books and finding out about his life.

We will then be preparing a presentation to share with the rest of the class about our own favourite authors.

The following link will help you to enjoy all your favourite Dick King Smith stories:

Good luck with your Learning Log homework, advertising a local habitat in your garden for a creature to move into!
We are looking forward to seeing them all!

Comparing African and Indian Elephants

Year 4 have been using their research skills to find out about the differences between African and Indian elephants. They read information texts carefully, skimmed and scanned for information and high-lighted key words. They then made notes and finally they are now in the process of writing a detailed comparative report. Look out for the display in school of the finished reports!
