As part of our science topic of states of matter we are conducting an experiment. The children have each made a prediction on which cup of water they think will evaporate the most due to the conditions of where they are placed; in the window, in the cupboard and on the radiator. What do you predict?

After a discussion in RE about the values of Christian beliefs, we thought about our own values and beliefs. The children wanted to share their thoughts and beliefs, we have some wonderful values that are reflected though the children’s actions.

As part of our DT unit we are designing pizza’s to market. After some research, the children have created a mood board of ideas in groups. Look at the ideas, I can’t wait to see these develop into designs and a finished product.

Y4 are designing and marketing pizzas, as part of our market research we had a taste testing session. The children explored the taste, smell, appearance and texture of the pizzas for ideas of how to design the best pizza to market. The children thoroughly enjoyed some colourful, cheesy, doughy, crunchy pizzas 🍕

Today the children listened to a fantastic story about mental health, we discussed colours as our feelings and emotions. Take a look at the story with your child and talk about how they are feeling. #mwentalhealthawareness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQNJ8USFwOg

Y4 are exploring states of matter in science, this week learnt about solids, liquids and gasses how to organise these into categories.

Y4 are using the micro bits to programme and collect data, this week the children explored how to carefully attach the micro bit to the laptop and access the programming site. We are very excited to explore all the things a micro bit can do…. They are amazing, wait and see!

During PE we are learning how to use apparatus in gymnastics, we have started with safe use of the equipment focusing on bending at the knees, this was a great example when a beam jump was done and bent knees were used on landing. Just look at that balance!

The children were given a 4 seasons tree calendar to create and represent trees that would show the 4 seasons of 2026. The children used watercolour paints and devised their own techniques to artistically decorate them. They look absolutely amazing.

We have had a visitor with gifts. The children were so excited to join in with Christmas celebrations and very thankful for the gifts from Santa. Merry Christmas everyone.

Our class elf apparently set the class a mission, a blank piece of paper was left in a envelope in the class for the children. The children said this had ‘invisible ink’ on that only children could read and gave the children a mission to do. The children said they had to get me to say 3 words… Christmas tree, elf and Santa. After completing the mission the elf left a ‘mission complete’ note and a chocolate for everyone. The children worked amazingly as a class to read the let

The children have been working incredibly hard to write poetry stanzas using metaphors. They chose a Christmas theme and used feelings, adjectives, animals and places to write metaphors. Some children performed some of their poetry and wow….. look at the actions to support their performance! Y4 you are a group of magical elves gliding over the glossy ice on sharp skates through your learning.

The year 4 children enjoyed sitting round the fire and tasted some toffee apples cooked on the fire pit.

Very lucky to have Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime to start off the festivities 🧑‍🎄🎄

Buddy the elf has come to join Y4, upon his arrival he decided to try and stop all learning….. but we have far too much fun while we are learning, so the children decided the paper wouldn’t stop us!

The children were excited to join the components to make working circuits, I think we have some budding electricians among the class. We think its beginning to look a lot like Christmas….. maybe we could build our own Christmas tree lights!

Today the children explored circuits using components, the children displayed high levels of resilience to get their bulbs working. Some children linked more components into their circuits to explore what would happen and how things work. The buzz in the classroom was electrifying!

25 minute challenge…. The children took on the 25 minute challenge, voting to take part in 25 minutes of expressing myself! The children chose their favorite subjects to express themselves. Some children chose dance, some art, some maths and what fun we had.

The children had an amazing time at the Arc cinema at the showcase of their very own animation creations. The children were a credit to the school and had lots of fun (and a little bit of popcorn). Amazing memories made! 🎥🍿🚌

As part of our year 4 science unit ‘Electricity’ we have been identifying, grouping and classifying electrical and non-electrical items, using our teamwork skills.
