What a fantastic morning Year 4 had taking part in Bridgetown Sports Day 2021!

The children showed real sportsmanship, teamwork and resilience and we are so proud of them all!

Summer Term 2021

Summer Term 2021

We are excited to begin our 'Roots and Shoots' topic about plants this term. We will learn about part of a flower, the life cycle of a flowering plants as well as observing and caring for plants and flowers in our own school garden. We will also be looking at how different artists use plants as inspiration. 

PE will be on Thursdays.

We will also be taking part in the 'Chance to Shine' cricket coaching, which will be every Tuesday during the first half term. 

Please can children come to school wearing their PE kits.

It has been lovely to welcome all the children back into school over the last couple of weeks! 

We have had an exciting time since arriving back to school, reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane as a class book and making our rag toys which we will bring to life in stories just like Edward the china rabbit next week!

The Bluebirds and Woodpeckers have an exciting, fun-packed half term ahead! Our topic is Mighty Mountains and there is lots to discover. We'll start by finding out about mountain ranges around the world as well as the mountains in the UK. If you have any family experiences of climbing mountains (and photos to prove it!) we'd love to know! We will be learning to read contour lines and creating our own contour mountain. Climate of mountains will be a focus, as will discovering how tourism impact on mountain environments.

Our English links to our topic as we learn how to write a non-chronological report; practising together a report about the Yeti and then inventing our own about our chosen mountain range. In art we will be focussing on Japanese printmake Hokusai and producing our own block print mountain pictures. We have been impressed with our new maths scheme Power Maths and will be continuing this term (see table below). Science this term is about digestion, following the journey of food as it travels through the body. Arrangements for PE, reading dairies, learning conversations, Mathletics, spellings and Rockstars remains the same as last term!

Our exciting class assembly on The Romans is in rehearsal! Please listen to the sound track and learn the words of this fun Roman song. Beware, it's catchy!!

Welcome to the Autumn term in Year 4! We've got lots of exciting activities based around our topic of Roman Life  in Britain. We'll be finding out what the Romans did for Britain and how they changed life here forever!  We'll also be writing stories set in this historical time period and a persuasion text based on Boudicca.

In science we are exploring Light through a variety of hands-on investigations. 

We are lucky to be having fortnightly cricket sessions this half term on Mondays, for the Bluebirds in weeks 3, 5 and 7 and the Woodpeckers in weeks 4, 6 and 8. Please could children wear PE kits to school for this.

Normal PE lessons will be on Wednesdays, again please wear PE kits on these days.

Book changing will happen on Mondays and Thursdays. A sticker will be put on the front of your child's reading diary so you know which day you are allocated. Please try hard to stick to these days only for bringing diaries into school.  

Spelling lists will be given out on a Friday and tested on the following Thursday. The words will be sent out with the Learning Conversations on Fridays.
