The last week of Half Term! This week, Year 4 have been practising and performed in their KS2 Carol Concert. They all sang beautifully and brilliantly - well done Year 4. The pictures show some of the children's Christmas cards and New Year calendars they have made this week.
Christmas dinner day! We all enjoyed Christmas dinner day as a school in the hall. Year 4 also enjoyed taking part in a live ballet lesson inspired by the book Alice in Wonderland!
This week, Year 4 have marked the first week of Advent by discussing the true meaning of Advent and Christmas in their RE lessons and have designed their own Advent calendars.

Year 4 have been busy this week in Computing when researching facts about 'Creepy Crawlies' and entering the data into Word. They then formatted their document by changing the font, colour and the images. In our second Computing lesson, Year 4 used the iPads and worked as a team to create a 'Battleships' style game on a spreadsheet. They worked in pairs and played against other partners on their tables.
Year 4 have had a great first week back! We completed our first Wellbeing lesson with a focus on resilience when tacking physical and mental hurdles. The children worked together as a team to send a hula hoop round the class without breaking the circle.
Year 4 presented their Harvest Class assembly to the whole school and the parents who joined to watch. They spoke and sang with confidence and spread the message of the importance of sharing with others, especially around Harvest time.
This week the children got stuck into handling and asking questions about the two Anglo Saxon artefacts we had been sent. They also used their inference skills to answer questions about the mysteries which were uncovered by archaeologists at Sutton Hoo.
This week the class made their own mini Rosary out of a pipe cleaner and 5 beads. They have used them this week in class when taking part in the Rosary Challenge everyday.
The class enjoyed working together as a team when playing 'sharks and jellyfish' before getting stuck into learning the 'slap' and 'push' pass in Hockey.
Year 4 have had a baking filled week! They have made fairy cakes and jam tarts in DT.
Year 4 have had a brilliant first week back in school. We have especially enjoyed visiting the school library, and making name bookmarks for the books they borrowed. They also showed off their skills when practising their dribbling and control in hockey.
