Sports Day - 6th July 2021
Year 4 have had an amazing day today for sports day!
Refugee Week and RHSE Day
Last week we celebrated Refugee week in school. The theme for this was ‘We cannot walk alone’ As a class we read and discussed the story There’s room for everyone ‘ by Anahita Teymorian. We then reflected on the theme for Refugee week either in writing or through art.
Careers Week - 14th to 18th June 2021
We had a visit from a police officer to support our learning in Careers week. We asked loads of great questions.
We Can Grow
Thursday 17th June 2021
We had another lovely, sunny afternoon enjoying taking part in the 'We can grow' project. Our seeds have developed; we have lots of vegetables growing and have even harvested some radishes. We learned more about seed distribution as we explored how weeds were growing in the troughs. We collected seeds, grasses and flowers and looked at these under hand-held microscopes which showed a magnified image on an iPad. We were amazed!
French Day - Thursday 17th June 2021
Bonjour! Here are some photos to give you a flavour of French Day, where we found out more about life in Cameroon. We wore red, green and yellow to represent the national flag, looked at artefacts, made collages to represent different aspects of Cameroon, and identified different towns in Cameroon by using co-ordinates. It was a good day!
Eyes of the World Campaign - 9th June 2021
Check out our Eyes of the World artwork for CAFOD.
World Oceans Day - Tuesday 8th June 2021
The theme for World Oceans Day was pollution.
Year 4 did work based on the book ‘Song of the Dolphin Boy.’ We compared the different descriptions of the sea and how we impact it, both in positive and negative ways. We then created artwork to visually compare the oceans.
London History Day - 31st May 2021
Before half term, we spent London History Day learning about and comparing the UK and Africa. We used language such as developing countries and developed countries. We used our reading skills to help us compare the two locations, thinking about population, largest city and religions.
It was fantastic to hear how engaged the children were in learning and they were able to make links to CAFOD’s eyes of the world campaign!
Martial Arts - Caged Steel
We Can Grow
More learning and fun in the sunshine today as part of our ‘We can grow’ project!
Mental Health Awareness Week - 10th to 16th May 2021
As part of our work for mental health awareness week, we discussed why our mental health is important. We also discussed what things we can do to help our mental health.
Lots of us suggested going for walks, exercise and less time on a device.
We then went outside and took a photo of something that made us feel happy, inspired or calm.
We are incredibly lucky to be doing work as part of our weekly wellbeing with YouGrow. This means that each week we get to go outside and work in nature.
Virtual Mass at St. Marie’s Cathedral - 13th May
Year 4 participating in Mass for the first time this year.
Gymnastic Sessions
Year 4 have really enjoyed their gymnastics sessions over the last 6 weeks. Today they are putting together their own routines including lifts.
Earth Day - 22nd April 2021
Thursday 22nd April is Earth Day. The theme this year was ‘Restore the Earth’.
Year 4 watched the Laudate Si CAFOD clip and discussed the key messages from it and what we can do about it to help ‘Restore the Earth.’ We then shared a story called ‘A place for plastic’, again we shared the key messages from this and what we can do to help.
The children then wrote an Earth Day Promise using what they had seen and heard.
We then linked Earth Day to our Meditation session for the week and did some Mindfulness colouring.

Science Week - 8th to 12th March 2021
For Science Week, year 4 worked in teams to solve challenges to complete an escape room. They applied their knowledge of states of matter to complete these tasks. They really enjoyed completing these tasks and it was great to see them put all their learning into practice!
Fairtrade Fortnight - February 22 to March 7 2021
For Fairtrade Fortnight, we compared the climate of the UK and the cocoa growing regions of Africa. We then explored the journey of cocoa, from plant to our homes for us to eat.

This is our prize-winning classroom door! Well done Year 4 for winning the Roald Dahl competition with this beautiful artwork
Roald Dahl Day - Friday 11th September
Year 4 have had a super week reading 'George's Marvellous Medicine'. We have enjoyed finding out how George gets his own back on his wicked Grandmother and have designed our own spells (not to be tried at home)! In English, we have focused on Grandma and have written about her appearance and character - and compared her to our own lovely Grandmas and Nannas. We have painted our own bottles using water colours and have added texture and shading with pencil crayons, finished off with a splash of glitter. These are displayed on our classroom door and we are delighted that we won the 'Best Decorated Door' competition! On Roald Dahl Day, we enjoyed dressing up as different characters from this author's books. book for Matilda to sit on.
