Welcome to our Year 4 page

Hello, my name is Mrs Lamb and I am the Year 4 teacher. I have been at Monkwray for 6 years and have enjoyed every minute so far. I am the school SENco and I am also in charge of ICT throughout the school. My favourite thing about working in Year 4 is seeing how the children become more independent and develop their own style. The children in Year 4 work very hard and always try to complete work to a high standard. Seeing the children develop in all curriculum areas and showing their own unique personalities and style makes every day worthwhile.

Throughout the year I will be adding photos and information about the fun activities we are doing in class and any trips we have outside of school.

 

Homework reminder!

A little reminder that Year 4’s homework is due in on Friday morning.

Latest from Year 4

Stone Circle Visit

Year 3 enjoyed visiting the Keswick Museum and the Castlerigg stone circle as part of their Stone Age topic.

Virtual Reality Workshop- The Mystery of Stonehenge

We have been very lucky to have had a Virtual Reality session to reinforce our learning of the Stone Age period. The children thoroughly enjoyed seeing life-like images of Stonehenge during the Stone Age and exploring the possible reasons as to why and how it was built.

George and the Dragon – Freeze Framing

During our writing lessons, we have been exploring defeating the monster tales. One of the ways we practised our sequencing, was to freeze frame each paragraph from the story of St. George and the Dragon.

Family Breakfast

Today (15.3.19), we held our second family breakfast. It was very popular and it was lovely to see so many families enjoying breakfast together.

See below for pictures of both family breakfast sessions.

National Storytelling Week – Taffy Thomas

To celebrate National Storytelling Week, we invited local storyteller, Taffy Thomas MBE, to school. We also invited parents and carers along and we enjoyed selecting tales from Taffy’s tale coat. We particularly enjoyed solving Taffy’s riddles; he left us with his riddle book which we will share during assembly.

Christmas Dinner

We enjoyed a tasty Christmas dinner thanks to Mrs Hatch and the kitchen staff.
