Wonderful Weekly Work
During lockdown I will use this space to share some fabulous examples of the work that our Year 4’s do - either at home or in our key worker group.
Week 8- I am so impressed with Year 4’s poetry planning that I am sharing this great work early this week. I can’t wait for everyone to be back in class next week so we can write our poems together.
Week 7- We have got off to a great start this half term and there is some excellent geography, computing and DT work underway but I have chosen to share some of the work that has been produced for our poetry unit so far. Well done to Milo, Eloise, Phoebe V, Zac, Nahum and Zara for these super fact files about the poet John Lyons.
Week 6- Cleverly presented PSHE work by Chloe, Clelia and Nevaeh, super Escape from Pompeii line drawings by Jacob, Lily and Mason, wonderful word processing by Tamsin, snippets of neatly presented persuasive letters by Ares, Phoebe H, Will and Sofia and excellent apostrophes work from Sam.
Week 5- Excellent science work carried out at home by Xanthe, Zak, Sydney, Sam, Clark and Ruby. Also, some of the children in our key worker bubble working hard to practise their word processing skills this week and some of the PSHE posters they created last week. Well done!
Week 4- Fantastic collage volcanoes inspired by the work of Margaret Godfrey. Well done Year 4!
Week 3- Improvements to persuasive letters, detailed volcano research, comparing websites, careful compass work and thoughtful PSHE work on jealousy. Well done Xanthe, Clelia, Ruby, Sofia. Zac, Sam, Nevaeh and Lily.
Week 2- A selection of graphs showing the location of global volcanoes, a labelled volcano diagram, a science task on states of matter and some work showing the beginning of our literacy unit on persuasive writing. Thank you to Chloe, Sam, Mason, Zak, Sydney, Eloise, Iona and Clark.
Week 1- a selection of title pages, KWL grids and volcano data collection. Thank you Lily, Xanthe, Alba, Emelia, Will, Ruby, Sofia, Oliver and Elliott

Autumn Term
Going for Gold- Ancient Greece
Our autumn term topic is now well underway. We have been busy learning about the geography of Greece and have worked together to understand when ancient Greece was in relation to other periods of history. We have placed significant events from ancient Greece on to our own timelines. We are currently busy learning about Greek gods and goddesses and enjoying Greek stories such as Pandora's Box and Perseus the Gorgon Slayer. Watch this space for more updates coming soon...
Ancient Greek Pottery
Superhero day!
