Year 4 - Ash Class

Welcome to Year 4!

Highlight of the week 25/11/24: Last week, the Year 4s had an incredible trip to the Cathedral, stepping back in time to experience Roman history firsthand! The children took part in a mosaic-making workshop, where they learned about the intricate designs used in Roman homes and even created their own colourful patterns. They also brought history to life by roleplaying the history of Alban, Britain’s first Christian martyr, taking on roles as Roman soldiers, townspeople and Alban himself. It was a fun and educational day, sparking curiosity and creativity. We can’t wait for our next field trip!

       

Highlight of the week 11/11/24: This week, Year 4 embraced the theme of Kindness during Anti-bullying Week. Through discussions and activities, the class explored how small acts of kindness can make a big difference and why it’s important to stand up against bullying. The children demonstrated their creativity by designing eye-catching posters to promote awareness of anti-bullying. Year 4’s enthusiasm and teamwork have been inspiring, reminding us all that kindness is key to creating a safe and happy environment!

     

Highlight of the week 21/10/24: A true highlight of this term has been making our VOLATILE VOLCANOES! Our Year 4 class has had so much fun learning how to make a volcano using different D&T skills to eventually make magnificent creations. As part of this process, they will erupt their volcanoes by combining different materials to simulate the same reaction. The perfect end to an amazing term. Well done Year 4s!

            

Highlight of the week 07/10/24: Wow! What an amazing time Ash class had at their first whole class forest school session. We learnt about different skills like making tents and creating shelters while also working in collaboration with each other which improved our teamwork skills. Mrs Mitchell taught us how to make volcanoes out of mud and we even had the chance to combine materials and erupt our volatile volcanoes. Everyone had so much fun and there was a smile on every child's face walking out of forest school. A big thank you to Mrs Mitchell for teaching us how to work together and the rules and skills of forest school. We can't wait for our next lesson. Well done Year 4s!

             

Highlight of the week 23/09/24: This week's highlight of the week has been our Maths lesson. We have been learning about place value and how we can partition numbers or add and subtract to manipulate our values. It has been awesome to see our wonderful class push themselves and really dig deep to further their understanding of numbers in maths. Well done Year 4s!

    

Highlight of the week 09/09/24: On Monday, our wonderful Year 4 children enjoyed their first WOW day of the year. We learnt about volcanoes and watched videos which helped make us understand how volcanoes erupt. We also tried out a science experiment to recreate a volcanic eruption by mixing different materials. In the photos you can see our awesome volcano paintings ready to be displayed on our topic board! Well done to Year 4!
