Year 4 Art
Year 4 have been studying different types of art displays, particularly statues that are displayed on plinths. We have created our our plinths and statues out of paper and card, and needed to solidify these items using paper-mache techniques. It was a very messy job, but lots of fun in the end!
Beached Themed Reading Cafe
Wow, what an incredible day we had at our beach-themed reading café! A massive thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a fantastic success. It was truly wonderful to see so much fun, laughter, and, most importantly, a clear passion for books filling the room!
Year 4 Bold Venture Park!
On Wednesday, Year 4 walked to Bold Venture Park and had a fantastic day!! We were very excited to set off and walk to the park, passing lots of familiar places on our way! We enjoyed looking at the statue and plinth in front of the market - we had looked at this already in an art lesson, so it was great for us all to see it in person! We had a busy, but exciting day ahead of us.

Online Safety - Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo’s long-awaited Switch 2 has finally arrived, blending fresh hardware with fan-favourite franchises. From Mario to Pikachu, the familiar mascots are back – but so too are evolving online features, in-game purchases, and potential exposure to mature content.

Among these are GameChat voice communication, camera-based gaming, and potential access to mature-rated titles. This guide outlines what to watch out for and how to keep children safe, engaged and having fun.
Year 4 Computing - Effective Searching
Year 4 have been putting their information finding skills to the test, learning how to effectively search for facts using efficient questioning in Internet search engines. We have had to determine whether the information we find can be trusted, useful skills that can be helpful in many different situations!
Year 4 Class Novel
Year 4 enjoy their Class Novel time and have been so engrossed in this half terms' narrative, 'The Elsewhere Emporium,' by Ross Mackenzie. It is the sequel to the book we completed in the previous term and Year 4 can't wait to find out what will happen in the next stages of the adventure. Lots of predictions are being made as to what will happen - we hope it will be a happy ending!

Year 4 Art
In Art, Year 4 have been practising recording ideas using visual representations, rather than just words. We were amazed at how different each piece of work was, even though we had all received the same information. We decided it shows how we all think differently and see and interpret things in different ways that are relevant to us as individuals.
