Year 4 have been learning about expanded words (full words) and contracted words (shortened words) in English. We only use full words in formal writing. Why not play a game with your family ? You tell them a contracted word and they have to guess the full versions. How many can you match up ?

In Science today, we collected a variety of leaves from our local environment. We observed our leaves carefully, looking at the textures and veins. We then used these features to classify the leaves.
In D&T this term we have been designing and making a purse or wallet. Over a number of lessons, we learnt how to cut and pin a template, cut a fabric shape and sew the seams with different stitches, such as running stitch or over stitch. Finally, we decorated our purses with ribbon or sequins and learnt how to attach a fastening.
Now we are ready to take our money containers to the shops !
In D&T this term, Year 4 have been designing and making money containers such as purses and wallets. This has developed a number of skills. First, we practised different stitches. Then we chose and cut out a template and used it to cut out the design we wanted on fabric. We are looking forward to sewing our purses together !
This week in science, we went on a habitat hunt in our local area. We discovered different types of habitats, including high habitats, low habitats, wet habitats and dry habitats!
