Year 4 Blog

What a fantastic day Year 4 had when they visited the Grosvenor Museum in Chester to explore more about their Roman topic!    Wearing replica armour and shields, and accompanied by Maximus Titus, a Roman Soldier, the children marched through the city of Chester.  When they arrived at the largest Roman ampitheatre in Britain, Maximus taught the young soldiers some tactical moves!  After lunch the children enjoyed all of the activities in the workshop and were fascinated by the artefacts in the Museum's galleries.  The whole class were an absolute credit to Broadbent Fold.  Mrs Blomeley

As a Rights Respecting School we are all working towards achieving our Silver Award.  The Rights are based around the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and recently Year 4 worked really hard in groups to decide which Articles they would like to include in their Class Charter.  The Charter will provide a frameword for both adults (Duty Bearers) and children on how to respect each other's rights. Watch this space for more details of the Articles they chose and their Class Charter display.  Mrs Blomeley

Year 4 were extremely excited to begin their clarinet lessons with Mr Wright!   Following a warm up singing session their first task was to learn how to put their clarinets together!  They are all looking forward to learning how to play this instrument from the woodwind family.  Mrs Blomeley 

We have some budding authors moving up to Year 5 next year!   During their last week in Year 4, children enjoyed telling their end of year Time Travel narratives to Year 3!  Not only had they written some amazing stories, Year 4 had designed and created their very own Time Travel objects which appeared in their tales!  These magical items included watches, clocks, hour glasses, stones, hats, tickets and books!  Children from Year 3 thought this made the stories even more exciting!  Brilliant writing and fabulous design and technology work too!  Mrs Blomeley
