Art
Painting Like Hundertwasser
In Year 4, we have extended our knowledge of the colour wheel by adding tertiary colours. We have learnt how we can mix primary colours to produce secondary and tertiary colours. We will now use this knowledge when we produce our Hundertwasser inspired dreamscapes.
Mad Hair Day
Year 4 showed their support for Comic Relief by coming to school sporting some "mad hair'. There were some amazing hairstyles on show. Well done everyone.

Look What We've Been Up To!
Autumn Term
Reconciliation
The Light of Christ
Tuesday December 3rd was a very special day for the children of Year 4 as they received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. They delivered a beautiful and very reflective service of which they should all feel very proud. The theme of the service was the Light of Christ burning within each of us and how through doing things wrong we begin to let the light dim. However, through the gift of reconciliation we are able to say we are sorry for the things we have done wrong and allow the light of Christ to burn brightly within us once again.
History
Mere Tun Trip
As part of our topic on history topic about the Anglo-Saxons, Year 4 recently visited Martin Mere and their settlement of Mere Tun. Here we experienced life in Anglo-Saxon times. During the visit we went foraging in the woods for materials that would be useful in camp, we weaved a pig pen from willow, we learnt how to thatch a roof using reeds and we learnt to defend the village from Viking attack. We all had an amazing day and learnt so much.
British Values
Democracy
We presented the first class assembly of the year when we talked to the whole school about the British value of democracy. We explained the origins of democracy in Ancient Greece and how our country works as a dmeocracy. We then talked about how our the election of our school councilors follows a democratic process. We then introduced the members of this year's School Council.
Maths
4-digit Numbers
We began exploring 4-digit numbers during our maths lessons. We used place value counters and place value charts to make different numbers before writing them in digits and words. We the used our problem solving skills to help identify different mystery numbers.
School Council Elections 2024
Well done to everyone who took part in the school council elections and put themselves forward to be a school councilor. The standard was very high this year and it was a very difficult job for the children to decide who to vote for. After listening to each candidates' manifesto, all of the class went to the polling station to cast their votes. It was a very close run thing. Congratulations to our three new year 4 councilors!
