We are eager to see the progress that you make in your time in Year 4 and the fun that you will have along the way!

Our PE days will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays so please wear your PE kits to school on these days.

Please encourage your child/children with their home reading and talk with them about the stories they are reading and the characters that they may come across.

Keep a look out for photos of our learning and fun on our class page and social media. 

PSHE - Health and Wellbeing

In PSHE today, we learnt about visualisation - listening to a story about a balloon taking us on a magical adventure to our favourite places. We closed our eyes, listened to the story and visualised where that place may be. We then described what that place would be like and used it as a way to calm ourselves in a busy world.

Science - Electricity

In our first lesson on electricity, we built our own circuits using batteries, wires, bulbs and switches. We then recreated how electricity flows around a circuit with human interaction!

PSHE - Health and Wellbeing

We had to learn some facts about how we can ensure our teeth remain healthy and perform to the rest of the class with what we had learnt. There were news reports, adverts and even a rap!

Art - weaving and collage

Music themed week - The 1980's

Our class really enjoyed learning all about the 1980's in our latest theme week - the fashion, the music and the headlines - but most of all, we had a lovely time dressing up!

Art - work inspired by Douglas Sokari Camp

Science - investigating how sound is measured

We took to the field today to investigate the levels of sound as we moved further and further away. We used an interactive decibel meter to record how loud or quiet the sounds were at different distances.

Science - exploring how sound travels

We made some string telephones and tried to communicate with each other, learning that sound travels by using vibrations

Art - Working with wire structures

Farington Park visit - Comparing the Amazon!

Year 4 had a fantastic time on their visit to Farington Park this week. As part of their geography topic, the children became real-life  researchers, carrying out surveys by speaking to different members of the public. They were curious, polite and confident as they asked their questions, and really enjoyed hearing the different views and experiences people shared with them.

The class also explored the park itself, looking carefully at how our local environment compares to life in the Amazon Rainforest. From noticing the types of plants and animals, to thinking about how people use the space, the children made thoughtful connections between the two very different locations.

It was a trip full of discovery, discussion and   teamwork – and, as always, the children represented our school brilliantly well.
