Year 4 Blog 2025/26

After 4 weeks of being in Natron, we have uncovered our tomatoes! We have discovered that the process of mummification has begun. The outer skin of the tomatoes have begun to shrivel and turn wrinkly - telling us that water has started to come out of them. We are very excited and will be leaving them to dry further over the holiday.

 Year 4 revised some verbs related to school and were introduced to the items found in  a pencil case. They practised saying the vocabulary,sang a song and watched a video which ended in a dog that had been chewing a ruler! They children then labelled the items found in a pencil case. 

 The children have been learning about teeth in science, and this week they made a model of a set. They can identify the different teeth, their names and their job.

 During the week we had our RE Day - for Year 4 the theme was ‘Neighbour’ where we explored who our neighbour was, could be, and why. We discussed the story of The Good Samaritan and what the meaning was behind it - we decided that it meant ‘Kindness is key and that anyone can show kindness to anyone at any time’. We had a little role play of a modern day version, which the children really enjoyed and some really thoughtful conversations.

 On Thursday, Year 4 were treated to a visit from Jenny McLachlan, the author of The Land or Roar series. The children listened with eager ears and thoroughly enjoyed the reenactment of Arthur, and his twin sister Rose, as they enter the Land of Roar to find their missing Grandad.  The children were a great audience and Jenny was thrilled to have shared some of her stories and writing tips to the children.

  Year 4 found out about the European Day of Languages,which is celebrated each year on the 26th September. They created a visual fact file about Poland, which included colouring in the Polish flag, identifying where Poland  is on the map, counting to 10 in Polish and finding out about Polish foods and greetings.
