Week Ending 14/10/16

Welcome to the ENS Onegino blog for the Year Four class. Throughout the year you will be able to read all about the activities taking place both in the classroom and beyond.  We have had a fantastic start to the academic year, building on the strong foundations laid in previous years and also introducing new skills across the curriculum. We hope you find these posts to be informative regarding your child’s learning and also enjoyable to read.  

Although no two weeks in the classroom are the same, this week at ENS has been far from ordinary! We began the week on Monday by taking a trip to the Onegino lake, where we completed a maths lesson relating to the recently covered topic of coordinates. We also used the open space to do some maths games such as a times time practice version of musical statues. 

On Wednesday, we were all full of excitement as we took part in the school trip to the Experimentarium Museum. All of the class had a brilliant time stimulating a great deal of interest in science which will serve them well in lesson time in the coming weeks. We especially loved the mirror labyrinth... some of the children could even navigate their way through better than the teachers!


After returning to school, we wrote about our experience in the form of a recount. Children revised the conventions of non - fiction writing and we also introduced structuring writing into paragraphs. We look forward to sharing with you some of the work they have produced!
