Reading is a key part of learning and through a range of texts, we hope children become immersed and enjoy reading for pleasure.
Here is a list of recommended reads for Year 4 to help inspire and excite children.
March also included exciting challenges such as making models of shadufs.

These involved making careful measurements and sawing.
We used different online programs to create animations.
After making flipbooks , we tried https://flipanim.com/ and Google Slides.
This stickman was catching a ball. Have a go for yourself. What would you create?

This month we visited The British Museum in London to continue our learning on the Ancient Egyptians. We saw amazing artefacts such as the Rosetta Stone. The children had a fantastic time and were a credit to the school. They are all looking forward to learn more about this topic.
January
This month we have started to learn to play the djembe drum which originated from West Africa. Tom, our music teacher, has already shown us how to position the drum and strike it to create the best sounds.
We are loving learning how to play this instrument and cannot wait to learn more rhythms and songs.
December
Thanks to the the generosity of our PTA, we had two special visitors: Blitzen and Martha. We loved meeting them and getting to learn about their habitats and about their features such as antlers.
Thank you again to our amazing PTA. We loved it!
November
This month we visited the local church. We were lucky enough to be able to make our own Christingles. Afterwards, we learnt about what it represents and why it is a special symbol at Christmas time.
Thank you to the members of St John the Divine Church for taking the time to teach us and provide us with the memorable learning experience.
October
This month we have started our swimming lessons. It has been a massive hit with all our fish. Oops we mean children. You'll have to excuse the mistake but they are so impressive in the water it is easy to confuse them. Children look forward to our sessions and are already making good progress.
Well done year 4. We are immensely proud of you, as for some, just getting into the water is a tremendous accomplishment. 😃
September
We have all settled in well to year 4, and have been enjoying our new topics. In History, we have been learning about the Anglo-Saxons and this has linked to our art unit. Please see our amazing pinch pots below that we have created out of clay using some technical (and fiddly) techniques.
