Year 4
Children in Year 4 voted for their next school councillors this year and we welcome Yusuf, Dylan and Jee
van to the team. We look forward to hearing what ideas they bring to the meetings.
They have already held a non-uniform day to help raise money for our local charity and are now supporting the Black Country Foodbank charity to help families in need!
Autumn term for Year 4 has been a busy one. In our Writing lessons, we have been reading 'The Lion and the Unicorn' by Shirley Hughes. The children have enjoyed writing a letter in the role of 'Lenny' who had been evacuated during World War 2. They focused on different grammar aspects by creating a homophone helper and becoming a contraction surgeon.
During our Art and Design lessons, the children have researched different illustrators. They have then used the different mark making skills they learnt to create their own shared background and characters for 'Where the Wild Things Are' by Maurice Sendak. Our photo shows one group's working progress!
They have explored famous rivers and their features from round the world and have discussed how plastic is a major cause of pollution during Geography lessons and in PE, they have learnt the rules of Tag Rugby, developing their skills in evading a defender during a small sided game. Science has been fun for the children as they learnt about the digestive system and how to keep our teeth healthy. They were fascinated by the outcome of how different foods and drinks affected their teeth, using eggshell as a proxy!
