Year 4 Blog Friday 13th February 2026

Date: 12th Feb 2026 @ 3:49pm

Welcome to your Friday blog 

As it is the half term holiday, there is no home practice set.

However, please keep reading every day as this really does help to unlock your learning.

You could also practise your tables using TTRockstars, Hit the Button and timestables.co.uk

Our Learning this week

In English, we learnt what an adverbial phrase is and how to identify them in a sentence.

We then wrote some sentences of our own using adverbial phrases.

In Maths, we built on our understanding of the number system extending it further into hundredths.

We learnt the equivalence of tenths, hundredths, fractions and decimals, for example:

 50/100 = 5/10 = ½ = 0.5

25/100 = 1/4  = 0.25

75/100 = ¾ = 0.75

We also learnt about numbers to 2 decimal places in the context of money.

In RE, we created a poster to show how Jesus loved and ways that we could show love in our everyday lives. 

As it is Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent during half term, we wrote our Lenten promises in preparation for this.

In Science, we recognised that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled.

For example, ice needs to melt to become water (solid to liquid); water needs to freeze to become ice (liquid to solid);

water needs to evaporate to become water vapour (liquid to gas); water vapour needs to condense to become water (gas to liquid).

In History, we finished our Romans topic by researching some of the legacies left behind by them.

We then created a poster on Canva to show our learning, ensuring it contained both information and some pictures.       

As it was Children’s Mental Health Week, in PSHE we covered the theme ‘this is my place’.

We discussed what it means to belong and how we can help ourselves and others feel like we belong.

We then thought about our happy place and the things we love.  

In PE, we performed out Iron Man dance in a team. You can see some photos in our gallery.

In Art, we created our ‘pocket gallery’.

We used the boxes we had made as plinths and placed objects/artwork on them.

Then, we placed the figures we had created in our gallery and made it look as though they were inspecting the artwork.
