Year 4

Welcome to year 4! We have lots of exciting learning to share with you!

Boy’s Sport Festival

Some of the year 4 boys took part in the Boy’s Sport Festival. They had a great day competing as a team and developing their teamwork and communication skills.

Outdoor Learning

We enjoyed a trip to The Orchard. We potted some seeds, learned about different plants that are emerging for the spring and enjoyed a camp fire.

Amazing Artists

We used watercolours to create mixed media collages based on the work of Monet and Lady Aiko.

Mediterranean cooking

As part of our geography topic we were visited by a Mediterranean chef who helped us to prepare delicious traditional dishes.

Snozzcumbers and Frobscottle

As a hook in to our new class text – The BFG – we enjoyed (or not!) tasting snozzcumbers and frobscottle.

Abracadabra!

To launch our Spring Term text of Leon and The Place Between, we were visited by a real life magicial – Peter Presto – who wowed us with his magic tricks.

Conductors and Insulators

In science we have been conducting our own experiments to investigate materials that are conductors and insulators of electricity.

St Ann with Emmanuel Church visit

We made Christingles in RE. We made these as we were studying about symbols of Christmas. We then took them to Emmanuel Church where we listened to and sang a range of hymns.
