Merry Christmas! – The Year 4 Team

This week is a busy one for Year 4!

Today’s Christmas performance was fantastic with the next two on Thursday and Friday.

Viking Villages

On Thursday we will be making Viking villages as a D&T task with one produced per class. If you have any leftover materials to help with this then that…

This week we have been reinforcing important safety messages to ensure we stay safe on the roads , especially as the nights darken. We went through various scenarios and discussed  what might have been  a better option to choose in order to stay safe.Now we all know to SLLT – STOP, LOOK, LISTEN…

We are currently learning all about teeth in Year 4 so today started an exciting experiment.

In order to learn about how teeth can decay, we filled six jars with different liquids (including vinegar, water, cola, milk and orange juice). We want to see what will happen to egg shells placed…

By the end of Year 4, to be at the expected standard, the children must be able to recall all times tables to 12×12.

That is why, as well as homework each week, the children work on times tables within their maths lessons, with a focus on speed and quick recall. We will also be testing the…

Firstly, we would love to say welcome back to school and what a first week back it has been!

We’ve had awesome art, super science, wonderful writing, and masterful maths.

The children have really made us so proud this week and it is onwards and upwards from here.

The Year 4 Team

We hope you have a fantastic half term break after eight weeks of hard work.

Year 4 have started learning how to play the recorder. Mr Hadfield taught us about  the different lengths of note and how to recognise rests. If you hear wonderful sounds floating along the corridor, it must be Year 4.

We are very impressed with the quality of homework that our classes have produced this term. Such a lot of time has been taken to create Anglo-Saxon helmets, carved runes and much lyres. Well  done, everyone.

Attention all minibeasts. The Year 4 Bug Hotel is now up and running. It is full of cosy leaves to keep away the autumn chill. We had our first visitor yesterday. A very hungry caterpillar. Yes, really! He settled down next to a very  tasty apple. Keep  look out for the holes! Come and join us.…

We had great fun today when we visited Cleveland Ironstone Museum to take part in a series of workshops on the Anglo-Saxons. We looked at maps to study place names that still exist today. Our spinning and weaving skills were put to the test as we found out all about the different plants that were…
