Year 4 Geography - River Features
This week's Geography lesson was all about the different features of a river. We found out about the different river courses and what we could expect to find at each one and were all amazed to find out that all rivers end up at the sea! We had to work as a team to represent what we had been learning about, by creating our very own representations of rivers and their features out of Lego, before presenting our creations to others. It really helped us learn what we needed to include and all of the different feature names.
Year 4 English - Role Play
Year 4 enjoyed a bit of role play in our English this week, when learning about the nautical language related to our narrative. What better way than to step into the shoes of Captain Tom Bawcock and turn our classroom into a Cornish Tugboat, whilst the Great Storm-Cat sent turbulent gales and unpredictable waves our way and gave us the perfect opportunity to put our nautical language knowledge to the test!
Year 4 Science - What is a solid?
Year 4 have thrown themselves in to their new Science topic, States of Matter. We began our inquiry by testing different items and whether they would classify as a solid or not. Year 4 demonstrated some excellent reasoning skills to explain their points in relation to the properties of a solid.
Year 4 Maths - Tenths and hundredths on a place value chart
It's been a challenging return to school, working through our Maths Decimal topic. But Year 4 have worked hard! We have used counters on a place value chart to represent decimal numbers and help our understanding to be able to complete our classwork independently.
Online Safety - App and Play Stores
With millions of apps available and children accessing them from an increasingly young age, app stores can present a range of risks. From malware and copycat apps to inappropriate content and persuasive in-app purchases, this Wake Up Wednesday guide highlights how easily young users can encounter issues – even when using official platforms. It also offers clear, practical advice to help parents and educators manage these risks. From setting up parental controls and checking app credibility to having open conversations about safe usage, the guide supports adults in building children’s awareness, encouraging safer choices and promoting more balanced, responsible app use
Year 4's Class Assembly
Year 4 presented their recent learning in their Class Assembly this week. Each child played a magnificent part in relaying their information, so clearly to the whole school and the parents and grown-ups who came to watch. Some even stepped in for others who were absent, but Year 4 were very composed and no-one even noticed! Miss Lovick and Mrs A. are very proud of you Year 4, well done!
Years 3 and 4 Easter Service
Years 3 and 4 have worked so hard lately, practising words, songs and actions, in preparation for presenting the Easter Service at Church. And what a fantastic service it was! They told the Easter story with passion, respect and a lot of talent and enthusiasm! It was enjoyed by all who saw it.
Year 4 R.E. - Forgiveness
Year 4 have been learning about the Easter Story during this unit of work, and have explored values such as trust, betrayal and forgiveness. We discussed what forgiveness meant to us individually and how it is represented in stories from the Bible. Year 4 created their own artwork, using watercolours, to express how they portray forgiveness in their artwork.
Year 4 History - King Alfred
Year 4 have been looking at sources about King Alfred, who we learned, was referred to as 'the Great'. We had to study where each source had come from, how reliable it was, and rate it on a scale of potential bias. Year 4 had some fantastic discussions within their groups, explaining their thoughts to others. We shared all of our sources and ideas to the rest of the class, to collate our information.
Year 4 Science STEM Challenge
Year 4 had a great Science lesson this week, with a STEM challenge. We had to get in to a 'STEM' mindset, incorporating a wide range of analytical and cognitive thinking skills, critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and creativity. Our group task was an interesting one, but Year 4 approached it with enthusiasm and teamwork, each team managing to complete the challenge. Well done!
Year 4 English - Creating Dialogue
Year 4 have enjoyed exploring the different characters of 'Gulliver's Travels' from our English Unit. They have created some fantastic pieces of dialogue between the characters, using expressive language and punctuation features. It was great fun acting our work out, with different partners, in our different roles.
Year 4 World Book Day
On World Book Day, Year 4 had an amazing time, delving in to the love of reading! We did many activities to celebrate the world of books and share the joy that reading can bring. Year 4 especially enjoyed dressing up as a character from a book for the day - the outfits were fabulous!
