Year 4


The final term is here! We hope you had a relaxing Easter break and enjoyed some sunshine! This term out topic is the Vicious Vikings. We will learn about where they came from, where they invaded, their lives and much more. In art we will create clay dragon eyes and sketch vikings. We also have our trip to St Osyth Priory Education Centre for our Viking and Anglo Saxon day. It is going to be a fun, jam packed term! Please keep practicing your times tables on preparation for the multiplication tables check in June. 

We hope you’ve have a lovely Christmas break with your families. This term our topic is ‘Passport to Europe’ where we will focus our learning mostly on France and some other European countries. In our history, we will learn more about the Anglo Saxons and the European countries they originated from. In PE we will be developing our dance skills and in Art using the pointillism technique used by famous French artist Seurat. Please keep practicing your times tables regularly in preparation for the Multiplication Check in June and read at home.

Welcome back to a brand new school year and the beginning of Year 4! We are going to have lots of fun learning new things this year together with our first topic all about Ancient Greece. In English, we will be writing for a range of genres and learning our model text with actions, remember to show your family at home. In maths, we will develop our number knowledge around place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We will continue to learn our times tables and improve our speed recalling them in preparation for the Multiplication Tables Check in June. Please keep reading at home and completing any homework tasks. 

 

Let's have a great first term!

Year 4 Gallery

 

This term in science we have been learning about electricity. We made electric quiz boards and tested them out using circuits. We also created a double page spread all about electricity the end out unit. 

 

In our Design and Technology lessons this term, we have made croque monsieur (French version of a ham and cheese toastie!!) and models of the Eiffel Tower with our adults from home. 


 

Science Week 2025

We have enjoyed Science Week by researching about Benjamin Franklin and making fact files, taking part in science quizzes, building circuits and making changes to light a bulb and creating posters about what science is. 

 

 

 

WORLD BOOK DAY 2025



In English, we created our own sweet/chocolate that could be used in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. We then wrote about it to persuade Willy Wonka to create it in his factory. 


 

In maths, we gathered data from the class about their favourite books or authors. We then created a bar graph to represent our results. 

 

French Food Tasting 

We also had the chance to task a range of French foods in our French lesson with Mrs Noden. We have been learning about how to say different French foods and order food. We tried baguette, croissants, brioche, ham and had lemonade! It was very yummy! 

 

This week in Year 4, we had a visitor called Darren who taught us how to cook Rogan Josh curry. We prepared it, cooked it and tried it. It was delicious!

 

 

 

To begin our new topic "Passport to Europe", we used watercolours to replicate the Water Lillies art collections by famous French artist, Claude Monet. 

 

 

As part of our DT and Christmas craft we’ve been learning to cross stitch and created a Christmas tree showing our new skill. 

 

CHILDREN IN NEED 2024

This year, we all dressed in PJs or Onesies for Children in Need. We also enjoyed meeting Pudsey! Here are some of our cosy outfits. 

 

We've started out Ancient Greece topic off with lots of exciting lessons! In History, we had a class

debate on whether you would rather live in Sparta or Athens. 

 

In Art, we have started our paper mache to create our own Greek Vases. 

 

In science, we are learning about solids, liquids and gases. We made 'Oobleck' to try and decide which state it would be! We decided it had both elements of a solid and a liquid. It was also fun to play with! 

 


 

For Remembrance Day 2024 we created a poppy wreath as a class. 

 

Here is a display of all our work we've completed linked to our Ancient Greece topic. We are really proud of the work we've created.
