Year 4 – 2025/2026
Miss Archard, Miss Armstrong and Miss Brown
What a busy start to the year we have had! The children have been working super hard stepping up to the new expectations of being in Year 4. They are enjoying the new-found responsibilities given to them and are taking it all in their strides.
This year the children will be taking part in the ‘Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)’ later on in the summer term; they have already begun preparing in earnest- completing daily times table practise and honing their skills using ‘Times Table Rockstars’. The children can access this from home too, and this is strongly encouraged. Go Rockstars!
Our TTRS with their first certificates
The children are thoroughly enjoying our Power of Reading text – The Iron Man. Here they are perfecting their script read throughs ready for performance.
This year, the children have created their own tray labels using resources that they foraged from our outdoor classroom.
We love maths in Y4, and have been working on our understanding of place value. Some of the children enjoy using physical resources to help, such numico and Denes blocks.
In science, we are studying the human body and in particular digestion and food. Here are the children creating a visual representation of how long the human intestinal tract is! Ask one of them and they will tell you – you won’t believe your ears!
We continue our discovery of the weird and wonderful workings of the digestive system – head to SeeSaw to see our super scientists detailing the journey of a banana through the digestive tract.
In Year 4, we love the outdoors and here we are enjoying a mindful moment during our Wednesday afternoon sessions with Mr Sims. The children were trying their hands at the traditional Japanese art of Hapisome – they collected a variety of plant material, mainly leaves and used small hammers to create the imprint of the leaves on a piece of cloth. The results were beautiful. As our children are expert outdoors men and women, they were also able to identify each of the leaves that they had collected. Fabulous afternoon activity!
Our PE topic this half term is invasion games – hockey. The children are engaged and enthusiastic during our sessions and eager to improve their skills!
