Welcome to Year 4's Class Page
Come and see what we have been getting up to this year!
21.11.25 - Baking Biscuits
As part of our DT topic this half term, Adapting a Recipe, we made and baked a basic biscuit recipe. In our next lesson, the children will work in groups to think about the ingredients they would like to add to adapt their biscuits. They will also consider budgeting and packaging as they design a new biscuit product. Next week, we will be decorating some of these biscuits and selling them at our stall at the Christmas fayre.
07.11.25 - Flamingo Land
We had a fantastic time at Flamingo Land on our school trip today. We started the day with a classification workshop, where we learned about different types of vertebrates and invertebrates. There were lots of amazing animals for the children to see up close, touch or even hold, including a tenrec, a gecko and a giant cockroach. After lunch, we enjoyed a guided tour around the park and saw a wide variety of animals. The children were definitely most excited about the seals!
04.11.25 - Trust Activity
Our RE topic this half term is Trust in God. We began our first lesson by thinking about what the word trust means to us. We then took part in a trust activity in the playground, where we worked in partners to complete a small obstacle course. One partner was unable to see and had to trust that their partner would guide them safely to the end. The other partner had the important job of carefully navigating them using clear directions and gentle guidance. This helped us to understand how important trust is and how it feels to rely on others.
20.10.25 - Black History Month
As October is Black History Month, as a school we are making sure to educate ourselves more about Black figures who have made a huge impact on today’s world. In Year 4, we researched different inspirational individuals who showed great sacrifice in the fight against racism and for equality, as well as service to helping others. We learned about many incredible people, including Nelson Mandela, Mary Seacole, Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells, Martin Luther King Jr, Dr Charles Drew and many others. This has helped us to better understand the importance of justice, equality and standing up for what is right.
17.10.25 - School Disco
It was lovely to see so many Year 4s at the school disco. Everyone had a great time dancing with their friends and enjoying the music together.
25.09.25 - Classification Keys
In science, we have been learning how to sort and group living things using classification keys. Some children even had a go at creating their own classification keys to help identify different animals and plants.
19.09.25 - Story of Abraham Freeze Frames
Today we learned about the story of Abraham and the long journey he went on. We explored God’s promise to Abraham and discussed why he kept saying “yes” to God despite facing so many challenges. Together we reflected on the value of perseverance and the children thought about times when they themselves had to persevere and what kept them going. In groups, the children worked creatively to retell the story of Abraham through freeze frames, showing understanding of the events and Abraham’s trust in God.
17.09.25 - Skipping School
We were really lucky to have somebody from Skipping School come in to teach us some new skipping skills. We practised a range of skips, including some individually, some in pairs and some in groups. Some of the skips were quite tricky, especially the pretzel skip, but everyone tried their best and showed great determination. We had a lot of fun learning new techniques and can’t wait to keep practising as we prepare for our skipping festival next year.
11.09.25 - Ukuleles
We are really enjoying our ukulele lessons and are starting to learn some different chords. We have been practising how to hold the ukulele correctly and how to strum in time with the music. As we become more confident, we are beginning to change between chords more smoothly and listen carefully to the rhythm.
08.09.25 - Finding Scriptures in The Bible
In our RE topic this half term, The Bible, we have been learning how the Bible is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament, as well as exploring the different types of writing it contains. In today’s lesson, we focused on how to find scripture references by looking for the book first, then the chapter, and finally the verse. The children worked brilliantly in pairs to locate a range of Bible passages, showing great teamwork and growing confidence in using the Bible independently.
08.09.25 - Rugby Workshop
This morning, we had a fantastic time taking part in our very first rugby workshop! The children worked in teams to practise their dodging and passing skills, aiming to make it to the other side of the field without being caught by the opposition. We were so impressed by the brilliant teamwork, determination and perseverance on show!
05.09.24 - Meet the Teacher Meeting
It was so lovely to see so many of you today and go over some of the things we will be doing this year. I am looking forward to working in partnership with you this year and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
