--- title: "Year 4 Highlights" url: "https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2021-09-30-year-4-highlights" school: "The Palmer Academy" --- # Year 4 Highlights ![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/news/44.png) 30 September 2021 It has been another exciting and busy week for Year 4. We have continued learning about sound in Science, where we have made panpipes to investigate pitch and string telephones to explore how sounds can travel over distance. In Geography, we are loving learning all about the rainforest! We have created collages to show our understanding of the different rainforest layers and we are now learning about people who live in The Amazon! We are enjoying our fantastic French lessons, where we spend a large portion of the lesson practising our spoken French - this week we learned to say when our birthday was - c'est amusant! We then used this learning to create a beautiful class display. Parents, a massive thank you for supporting your children for the first few weeks in year 4. Please continue to hear your children read, encourage them to take AR tests at home and complete their homework.
