Year 4 Blog

Read Now
 
​It's been an exciting half-term in Year 4, filled with creativity, sports, and meaningful learning experiences. Let's take a look at some of the highlights from the past weeks.
 
In English, we've been exploring the magical world of Philip Pullman's 'Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp.' Our focus has been on writing fantasy narratives with a twist, where students reimagined key elements like the characters, magical items, and settings to create unique stories. This imaginative approach brought a new sense of excitement to our English lessons.
 
Maths has been equally engaging, with a deep dive into decimal numbers. We learned to convert fractions into decimals and explored contextual numbers by working with money—converting between pounds and pence. The worded problems helped us apply these concepts in real-world scenarios, making Maths both practical and fun.
 
Our afternoons were a creative mix of art and history. We designed our own Ancient Egyptian scrolls, using tea staining to give them an authentic look, before adding detailed drawings. In History, we delved into key events on the Ancient Egyptian timeline, linking these to our Earth Day explorations on pollution across the ages.
 
PE sessions were dynamic, with athletics and cricket activities. We participated in sprints, relays, javelin, and standing long jump competitions, while our cricket lessons focused on catching, throwing, fielding, and even batting skills.
 
Throughout the half-term, we've taken part in the Brain Buddies programme which has emphasised mental health and well-being, discussing ways to care for ourselves and support one another. It's been a well-rounded and enriching term, and we're looking forward to what's next!
