If there are any questions or concerns please feel free to speak to any of us before or after the school day.

PE kit is navy blue shorts and a sky-blue polo shirt. Trainers or pumps.
Both year four classes have PE on Tuesday
Please try and read with your child every night. Really focus on asking questions about their book as this will help them with their reading comprehension.
Our main push this year in Y4 will be times tables knowledge and rapidity. Practising weekly tables and enjoying times tables rockstars (login details can be found inside home reading record) will support you and your child with learning this. Please use the link below for an excellent example of Y4 expectation.

Homework will be given on a Friday. The children will be given spellings along with maths or English online homework. If you need any logins, please just ask. It is important for your child’s learning that this homework is completed. It recaps the work taught that week.
Keep up to date with everything that is happening by logging on to the school app or visiting the class page on our website.
Last week, year 4 used clay to make Chinese food. This week, they painted these and created a Chinese New Year feast table. Creativity skills were put to the test and the children made lanterns and fans to add more detail to our table. 🧧🇨🇳🥡🥢🥠 The children then received their very own fortune from fortune cookies.
Year 4 have been loving their P.E. sessions with Everton in the Community. This terms topic was ball skills with a focusing on passing and catching. Today, we played handball.
We were very lucky today to attend a Chinese New Year workshop where we practised a Chinese dance with fans and parasol ☂️ 🐉 🇨🇳
We have merged our art topic (festive feasts) and our R.E. topic (festivals and celebrations) to sculpt food out of clay to represent Chinese New Year. The children worked together to create a ‘feast’ on their tables and then showcased the skills learnt from this topic to create these foods. The children absolutely loved this. 🇨🇳🥠🥢
We will paint these next week once our clay has dried.
Year 4 are loving their ukulele sessions. Each week, their confidence with the instrument is growing and their skills have improved massively.
The smiles speak for themselves. 🎸😃
These children have worked hard creating their poems based on the text Winter Sleep – A Hibernation Story by Sean Taylor and Alex Morss. Both girls enjoy reading and writing at home, too. Well done!
Today in Art we sketched and painted tins of food. We used paint and also colouring crayons to add detail.
We looked at the difference between a regular and an irregular polygon? We know that if the length of the sides are different and the angles are unequal it is irregular.
We completed a timeline and can tell you when Early Islam began and how this compares to other ancient civilisations.
The winning team in our hockey tournament is THE GREEN TEAM 🟢🏒
It’s safe to say, we have some very competitive players in Y4.
Thank you to everyone who came and helped the children with their tic-tac-toe pouches. It was a lovely afternoon 🪡👝👛
Year 4 have finished their persuasive letters and spent today’s lesson editing their work. We rotated around various editing stations to ensure we focused on one feature at a time. The children were able to spot mistakes a lot easier in this way.📖✏️🔎
Year 4 have loved their English book, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. We have written persuasive letters, character descriptions and setting descriptions. To round off our book, we created a story map and acted out parts of the story, ensuring to use all the features we have learned. 📚🧌🐐🌉
Here are some pictures from our lovely campfire. The children have always loved this and it’s made even more special that they get to spend part of their morning with their family… and perhaps the chocolate and marshmallows are an extra bonus?
We loved our science experiment this week that involved building a switch. We discussed the different types of switches and how they are used to control a circuit. Then, we built a switch using a paper clip and a split pin.
Year 4 have been loving their geography topic where we have been comparing Liverpool and Rome. Today, we looked at types of ways humans use the land in both Liverpool and Rome and discussed different settlements.
Wow! What a performance! The children absolutely loved watching Cinderella ⭐️ 🎃 ✨
Year 4 parents, carers and families, please join us this Friday 28th November from 9.10am-10am for a campfire with your children. Many thanks.

We are reading Into the Forest by Anthony Browne. The children are enjoying looking at his fantastic illustrations and seeing what they can spot. The pictures tell the story and keep us guessing about what happens next.
Year 4 have been loving their P.E. lessons this half term. They have been learning the skills of hockey. We discussed that hockey is an invasion game and the aim is to invade the other teams space to score a goal. To begin, the children have been practising dribbling and controlling the ball to help prevent the opposition from retrieving it.
Today, year 4 began their final piece of their still life art topic. They made contributions to how the still life should be displayed, they felt the objects to add texture and chose their own sketching method. 🌷🍌🍎🎨✏️
