Year 4 have really impressed everyone with their growth mindset and determination to succeed in learning their times tables and have applied what they know brilliantly to their Multiplcation Check over the past two weeks. In our Maths lessons we have been learning about symmetry and have been using paint to explore and identify lines of symmetry. We have also enjoyed kicking this half-term off with our rugby sessions with our instructor David.

 We have had a super busy few weeks in year 4! We have been learning all about money and the value of it. We looked at different ways money can be saved and the importance of a budget. We had to work together to count our money and decide how we could save it. In science, we carried out a science investigation looking at which marital is best to filter our microplastics. And in between all of our learning, we managed to enjoy some downtime with friends sharing books.

 Over the last couple of weeks, year 4 have been immersing themselves within their learning. In PSHE we have learnt about making sensible choices to keep ourselves safe. We used role play to act out different scenarios. In Geography, we made preparations for our fieldwork. We looked at human and physical features and predicted what we might encounter on our local walk.

We have had a super busy few weeks. Year 4 have created their own papyrus scrolls, based on their Egyptian history and art learning. We also became embalmers and replicated the practice of embalming by using a tomato, fabric and salt ! 

We have taken part in lots of different writing workshops all based on poetry and rap! We even wrote and performed our own rap! 

To kick start 2026 off, Year four have been very busy taking part in different workshops. Firstly, we were visited by a material arts instructor who taught us different moves and even challenged some of us to chop a piece of wood, with our bare hands! Next, we were joined by Mr Moran who spoke to us all about the importance of eating well to support our well-being.
