Year 4

Winter Sleep Poetry

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!

How can I make sculptures of food?

Today in Art we sketched and painted tins of food. We used paint and also colouring crayons to add detail.

Congratulations to LKS2’s stars of the week ⭐️

What is a polygon?

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.

When was Early Islam?

We completed a timeline and can tell you when Early Islam began and how this compares to other ancient civilisations.

It’s safe to say, we have some very competitive players in Y4.

Winter Workshop

Thank you to everyone who came and helped the children with their tic-tac-toe pouches. It was a lovely afternoon 🪡👝👛

Editing Stations

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.📖✏️🔎

What a great afternoon sewing with our parents!

Story mapping and acting

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. 📚🧌🐐🌉

Our Lovely Campfire

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?

Why do we need a switch?

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.

Land Use and Settlements

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.

Year 4 Campfire

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.

Reading Pictures

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.

Hockey

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.

Still Life Art

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. 🌷🍌🍎🎨✏️

Roman Trip to Chester

Year 4 had a wonderful day at the Deva Roman Experience in Chester. We collected our shields and weapons before stepping back in time to Roman Britain. We walked the streets of Chester and battled with our ‘enemies’ The children learned a lot of new facts about The Romans, including what they ate and how they went to the toilet. The children loved it!

Cake Sale

Thank you so much for all your donations towards MacMillan Cancer Support. Children had a lovely time – a lot of cake was enjoyed : )

Writing

We have been writing sentences based on the story called The Shopping Basket by John Burningham. These children have worked very hard and are very proud of their work.

Sound walk

Y4 took a walk around the school to note different sounds we heard. Mr. Smith got a 7/10 for volume and we enjoyed Mrs. Hollinsworth’s 3/10 radio songs in the office!

We have some musicians in year 4 🎸

Year 4 absolutely loved their first ukulele lesson today. They have a passion for music and different singers/bands. We can’t wait to start practicing songs with our new instrument. 🎶
