Year 4
Welcome to Year 4
Times Table Rockstars
As a school, we are signed up to the wonderful online resource that is Times Table Rockstars.
It is a times tables game where the children can play a variety of challenges in order to improve their understanding of times tables. I can even set challenges!
This is a great resource to help with learning of times tables that are set for home learning each week.
The children have all been given their individual login details (recorded in their homework books) and were shown how to use the resource. They are already becoming quite competitive! A little bit as often as possible will make a huge difference!
Just a reminder, details as follows:

Terms 1 and 2
DT - Food
Monday 21st October 2024
As part of our DT topic of food, today we made our own Pasta from scratch before sampling our wonderful efforts. We had to prepare the ingredients before bringing them together to make the dough. Then we used all our strength to roll out the mixture in order to cut it into 'tagliatelle' strips.
Well done to you all - a feast fit for a King or Queen.

RE Celebration
Year 4 welcomed parents as we held our RE celebration today to show off our learning to date. As this term was all about 'The Bible' - we focused on showing Bible stories. All children acted superbly and demonstrated their understanding of stories well.
Thank you to those parents who were able to attend - we hope your enjoyed our celebration.

Class Assembly
Thank you to all those parents who were able to attend our class assembly. We were able to show off our learning to date in RE, Science, English, Geography and DT.
Well done to every child in year 4 for putting on such a fantastic show! I am super proud of you all. Mr Todd.
Year 4 Class Liturgy
Tuesday 8th October 2024
Year 4 held our own class liturgy based on the gospel reading from Mark 10:13-16 .
We began with a hymn, followed by an opening prayer and then reading scripture reading from Mark (10:2-16) We then reflected on the Gospel reading before ending our liturgy a closing prayer.
Finally, we completed an activity to remind us that all children are special and loved by God, whose Son Jesus welcomed the little children.
Tuesday 24th September 2023
Church visit.
As part of local geography learning, year 4 ventured to St. Thomas Church to look at how it has changed over periods of time. We were able to find out when it was built and when new extensions were added. We used our previous knowledge to come up with thoughtful questions to help our understanding.
Dear Parents,
I hope that you have had a lovely and relaxing summer as we welcome in another exciting school year. It was wonderful to be reacquainted with the children at the end of last term and I am really looking forward to this academic year. Year 4 is a highly enjoyable year which provides opportunity for your children to engage in swimming lessons, music theory and numerous sports, as part of the curriculum over the coming year. We are looking forward to a fabulous term with your lovely children.
Please note: Our PE day is on a WEDNESDAY for terms 1 and 2. If your child has ear piercings could tape be provided to cover the earring please.
Mr Todd and Mrs Gadd
