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.

It was great fun acting our work out, with different partners, in our different roles.

Year 4 - The Lunar New Year
Year 4 really enjoyed their dance workshop this week. We got to explore the Lunar New Year in a creative way and learn moves to tell a story through dance. Year 4 were very good at remembering the moves for each different animal and were even better when given the choice to move in the way of their chosen animal. The final performance was fantastic to watch - well done, Year 4!
Year 4 Science - Electrical Circuits
Year 4 are studying Electricity in our current topic and have been learning about the names of different types of components and how these come together to make a working circuit. We got to put our knowledge to the test by making our own circuits and testing if they worked! Some of us, even managed to adapt bulb brightness - some very successful circuits made!
World Book Day Reading Cafe
???? A Page-Turning Success: Our World Book Day Reading Café! What a brilliant way to celebrate World Book Day! It was truly wonderful to see our school community come together to transform the hall into a buzzing hub of stories, snacks, and shared imagination. From pupils to parents, the turn-out was fantastic, and the atmosphere was even better. Here’s a look at the highlights from our literary celebration: ????️ The Great Masked Reader Hunt The highlight of the afternoon was undoubtedly our Masked Reader Hunt. It was a joy to watch everyone turn into literary detectives! Using a series of clever clues, pupils had to figure out which teachers were hiding behind their favourite books. ???? A Marvellous Finale To wrap up the event, Miss Peckson took to the "reading throne" to share a chapter from her all-time favourite: George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl. There’s nothing quite like the magic of being read to, and you could have heard a pin drop as we followed George's mischievous concoctions. Why it Matters At the heart of today’s event is a simple but powerful goal: fostering a lifelong love of reading. Reading isn't just about literacy; it’s about empathy, adventure, and expanding our horizon. Seeing our pupils enjoying books together reminds us that a good story is one of the best ways to connect with each other. "A book is a dream that you hold in your hand." – Neil Gaiman #WorldBookDay #ReadingCafe #LoveOfReading #SchoolCommunity

Year 4 have been learning about audiobook in this Computing unit and have been excited to create our very own audiobook! We have worked with a partner on a script this week, delegating different jobs, such as narrators, sound co-ordinators and technicians. Lots of work, but the end result will be worth it!
Year 4 English - Responding to Visual Clues
In English, we have started a new unit and have immersed ourselves in the world of adventure. What better way to do this, than watching visual clues and responding to them appropriately to aid our understanding!
Year 4 Computing - Internet Safety
In this week's computing lesson, Year 4 have been exploring the ways in which we can keep ourselves safe when using the Internet. We have learnt that we cannot always trust what we see and that we should never tell others personal things about ourselves when we are online. Year 4 completed a quiz to show their expertise and enjoyed playing a game, helping our character make the right choices when faced with an online problem.
NSPCC Number Day - Our Nifty Number Outfits!
Count Us In for NSPCC Number Day! Our school was looking a little different today as we swapped our usual uniforms for a sea of digits and mathematical patterns! From our youngest learners in Preschool to our eldest in Year 6, everyone joined in the fun to celebrate the NSPCC’s Number Day. It was wonderful to see the creativity on display, with both children and staff wearing their favourite numbers to help raise vital funds for the NSPCC’s "Speak Out, Stay Safe" programme. Whether it was a football jersey, a hand-decorated t-shirt, or even a giant birthday number 7, the whole school community came together to prove that there really is safety in numbers. A huge thank you to all our families for your brilliant efforts with the outfits and for your kind donations. It’s a fantastic day of problem-solving and numbers, all for a very important cause.
