"Marbellous" Marble Run!

What a fantastic time everybody had at our family activity this week!  Staff and children are still talking about the fun they had in their attempts to make the most creative marble run. Quotes fom the childen included "It was a lot of trial and error but worth it in the end!"  "My favourite part was building the different components!"  "I thought today was awesome because everyone worked as a team with a smile."  Mrs Anson, our expert scientist, reported "My group showed great determination and ingenuity.


Our Time in Year 4

What a fantatsic year both of us have had teaching Year 4. It has been a pleasure to teach your child exciting topics and secure their understanding in Maths and English. We are sorely going to miss teaching the year group as we move into Nursery and Year 6. We hope you have a lovely Summer holiday and the children come back into Year 5 in September refreshed and ready to work hard. 

Kind Regards

Ms McCoy and Mrs Slate


The Tudors

Year 4 have been learning about The Tudor family. Children have enjoyed writing fact files about Henry V111 and his wives.

Year 4 have had a fantastic opportunity to experience life as a Tudor person when we all went to Ordsall Hall. Looking around the Tudor building including the kitchen, bedrooms, dining hall and the gardens, children learnt lots about how Tudor life was very different to today. Children also took part in a role play involving Henry V111 and his wives, can you work out on the photos who was Henry V111 and who got beheaded?


Clarinet Champions

Year 4 had a phenomenal time at The Bridgewater Hall on Thursday. What a treat it was for the children to play their clarinets with the amazing Halle Orchestra. They thoroughly enjoyed the trip and were amazed at the orchestra playing a tune on fidit spinners. Look out for this being recreated in Year 4!

Ancient Egypt

What a fantastic week Year 4 have had. They had the opportunity to see and handle Egyptian artefacts, meet Pharoah Amohep and thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Egyptian number system. The children were so enthusiastic about our visitors and thought of lots of historical questions throughout the week. They have continued their excptional ideas and have written Egyptian stories. Don't forrget to check out their work near the library. 


Creative homework.

Year 4 have produced some very professional leaflets as part of their creative homework about North America.


North America

A great way to start our North America topic with a flight to Jamaica,  children had their own passport and boarding card and our classroom turned into an aeroplane. Mrs Slate was even an airstewardess!

Children have been learning about the states of the United States and have been researching famous landmarks.  We are looking forward to reading the homework projects about one of the states of America.


Robots

Year 4 have made some excellent robots for their homework projects. It's a really fun topic.

In groups children have made their own robotic dances up and even designed some robot masks.

In English children have written adverts and recorded videos to persuade people to buy their robots. Children have even used the computer to type and present their work.
