And just like that... another term over! Probably the most unusual term we have ever had but we made it!
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our very quick parents evening on Tuesday. It was lovely to see you all.
This week we have been very busy bees, here are some of the things we have been doing:
Inspired by the book Quest, we have been designing and making our own treasure maps and giving them an authentic look using tea-stains. We can now read and plot coordinates (along the corridor and up the stairs).
As part of our topic, Splash, we made some of our own rain gauges to measure how much rain falls. If you have taken your group's rain gauge home, keep monitoring it so you can tell the class your findings.
Over lock down, we found out about the different features of rivers. We have used this knowledge to make our own river valleys using natural materials. Luckily the weather was kind so we spent the afternoon out on the field.
Over the holidays it would be great if you could all keep an eye on the time! Mrs Cooper has been doing lots of work trying to help you tell the time on an analogue clock - keep working on this please!
We have also been having a go at some Yoga over the past few weeks. We have also tried a little meditation to help us all relax. I certainly felt more relaxed afterwards.
We also made some beautiful paper flowers. We have become beautiful florists and gardeners, helping to welcome in the Spring.
Have the most wonderful holiday and so very well done for coming back into school so positively. Let's hope that the Summer term is a super one!
Well done from the whole Class 4 Team

Well done everyone for a great week!
We have been on a wonderful adventure, following a mystical map under the ocean, along old, rope bridges and to the top of mountains in our book, Quest.
On Tuesday, we met Craig and Mick who spent the day with us and showed us how to be safe pedestrians. We thought about the different dangers that we need to be aware of when walking near roads and put this into practice when we walked through Netherthong.
A good day was had by all, learning a valuable life skill.
We created some lovely art inspired by paintings of the sea. We used pastels to create seascapes and images of waves. Here are a couple.
In science we learnt about non-Newtonian liquids and had lots of fun playing with it in class.
What a mess, but what a lot of fun!
We also looked at the census we will be completing at the weekend and we looked back through History. Take another look at this census and see if you can remember who lived here and what amazed us so much!
Well done this week Year 4. Again you have been amazing.

Merry Christmas
We made it! What an amazing team we have in Year 4, both children and adults! We have had a strange but amazing term, full of fun and adventures! Well done with everything that we have thrown your way!
You have challenged yourselves in so many ways and made us smile everyday. We hope that you all have an amazing holiday and wonderful Christmas.
Here is a link for the wonderful Elf video.
And here is Mr Curly Wurly all dressed up and ready for Santa to visit. He is very keen to get back into school to visit us all and let us have a tickle again as soon as it is safe to do so.
Have the most wonderful break, rest up and we will see you all in 2020!
Love Miss Watkins, Mrs Kendal, Mrs Cooper and Miss Hewitt

He's behind you! Oh no he isn't!
Could you hear the shouts this morning? What a way to end the week, with a Panto. All of the children enjoyed our virtual panto this year. The Scarecrow got his brain, the Tin Man got his heart and the Lion got his courage. Not to mention Dorothy and Toto managing to get back to Kansas! A massive thank you to FONs for organising this again this year. It has made us all feel a little bit festive.
On top of the Panto, we have been creating our own noises. In a science/music lesson we had lots of instruments out and created a Year 4 Orchestra. We had so much fun and made so much noise!
You also made your own instruments in Bush craft on Monday and I think you might get to finish them off next week. They will look amazing.
Next week we will be stepping into Christmas. We have our Christmas dinners on Wednesday and will be having a Christmas video at some point too. Wednesday will be so much fun with the Christmas party. Mrs Kendal, Miss Watkins, Mrs Cooper and Miss Hewitt can't wait!
As for homework this week I have just one job for you. I will set it on Teams. Thank so so much to all of those children that completed a presentation. We were really impressed. There are some amazing people out there.
Have a super weekend. Keep safe and we shall see you all next week.
Love Miss W, Mrs K and the rest of the Year 4 Team

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Please take a look at the wonderful Christmas tree displays in the hall. Every class has done such a lovely job. Well done.
We have also got our classroom tree up and it is looking amazing. Just a little bit of sparkle in the corner of the room.
Well, another week is over and you have been amazing. We have been really pleased with how you are maturing and continuing to learn and develop in class. We had fun today catching snowflakes on our tongues and dodging the flakes. Our extremities were feeling very chilly by the time we came in. I hope there is a little more snow to come this winter, as long as we all keep safe and warm, we can get snowmen and igloos built!
Your homework for this week is as usual - Mathletics, Spelling shed and spellings, timetables and reading. Please don't forget your Teams project. I have heard talk about Steve Irwin and others, so we can't wait to read them.
On Tuesday there will be an extra PE coach in, so please come in your kits ready for an outside session. You must have clothing that you can be wrapped up warm in. Remember we have spoken about layers of clothing helping if you were in the Arctic!
Well, enjoy your weekend and keep safe.
Love the Year 4 Team
