		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year to all of our Year 4 families! We hope you have had a wonderful Christmas break.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The Year 4 team had a really productive INSET on Monday, as we were beginning to plan our brand new project that will take place in Summer 1. We are very excited about it and we&#39;re all looking&nbsp;forward to sharing the lessons with the children.

&nbsp;

This week we have been starting some new units of work in a range of subjects, as well as continuing our maths topic of multiplication and&nbsp;division which we started in December. The children all learnt the &#39;finger trick&#39; to work out their 9 x table - do ask your child to show you! We then went deeper by looking at other patterns we can spot (e.g. the digit sum is always 9 or a multiple&nbsp;of 9), and how the 3, 6 and 9 x table are connected.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

In English we began our work on &#39;Fox and the deep sea quest&#39;. The children&nbsp;made predictions about the book using evidence from the cover and got to know about the character of Fox using their inference skills. We then read the book together as a class. We will go on over the next two weeks to describe an exciting journey through many underwater habitats using evocative descriptions, ready to share with the Natural History Museum.

&nbsp;

We also began a new book in our Reading lessons - Harklights by Tim Tilley. The children loved unpicking the beautiful cover illustrations and are excited to become immersed in this wonderful book.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Our history lesson this week helped the children to put their Ancient Egypt knowledge into a wider context as we explored other great ancient civilisations. Here are a few quiz questions for you:&nbsp;

1) Why were ox bones important to the people of the Shang dynasty?

2) Who invented the 60 minute clock?

3) What was special about the cities of the Indus Valley?

&nbsp;

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 4 Team
