Year 4 have loved preparing for Easter making their Easter cards! We can’t wait to perform our Easter Show for all of our parents and carers tomorrow!
What a fantastic term year 4 have had attending their swimming lessons. As today was our last session, the children had a fab time enjoying some free play after all of their hard work! 
Year 4 were on fire on Friday in the hockey tournament they attended! They really enjoyed competing against other schools and we even had one of our teams finish first in their group!
On Friday, year 4 looked at different pictures and discussed which music would create a mood to suit the scene. The class used glockenspiels to compose their own arrangements.
For our Science through STEM week Year 4 have been looking at the effects of soil on the water cycle. We reminded ourselves of the different properties of solids, gases and liquids, and how different soil types shared some of these properties. We then designed and made our own water cycle so we could investigate how different soil altered the stages, evaluating our results and reflecting if we had carried out a fair test using our designs. Well done Year 4!
Today year 4 have been learning to play music using notes on pentatonic scale. The children gained an understanding of playing notes on a glockenspiel and recognising beat and rhythm.
Some children in Year 3 and 4 joined forces to lead our whole school worship in the hall on Monday morning. They hosted a fantastic discussion about trust and in particular, what Christians believe in trusting Jesus. Clear and confident speaking and a lively finish dancing to My Lighthouse meant everyone left energised! Well done Y3/4 worshippers!
In preparation for the hockey festival Year 4 will be participating in later this month, we have had an afternoon practicing our hockey skills! As always, Year 4 fully embraced the task in hand and took their hockey practicing very seriously, with lots of goals scored!
Year 4 have been looking at music notation in today’s music lesson. We have been able to read and preform a rhythm and write our own rhythm scores using crotchets, paired quavers and minims.
Year 4 have had a brilliant day celebrating World Book Day! We have centered our day around our class book ‘How Hank Helped Frank’ which has allowed us to explore the issues around gender stereotyping. We interviewed members of the class as characters from the book discussing how we would be feeling, and wrote a diary entry as our chosen character. Well done Year 4!
