Year 4

Here are some thoughts from the children on their experiences in Year 4.

‘Year 4 is fantastic! We have so many exciting opportunities – it is a terrific year!’ Jonny.

Literacy

‘My favourite bit was writing World War 2 stories and letters to our parents – pretending we had been evacuated. This all tied in with our history topic which was brill’ Becca

Maths

‘The part I enjoyed the most was when we got to make strawberry smoothies because we had to measure them accurately on the scales – I particularly enjoyed drinking them!’ Charles

ICT

‘Go Robot Go was cool because you had to type in movements and the robot would draw lines – it was challenging drawing curves though, but I just about managed it’ Ben

Science

‘When looking into gravity we made different sized parachutes and timed how long they took to reach the ground. It was great fun!’ George

Art

‘I loved making surreal pictures of our dreams – everyone’s turned out looking rather strange!’ Kizzy

History

‘We learnt about the Vikings and World War 2. We were lucky enough to go on a school trip to The Imperial War Museum and went through a very smelly trench experience!’ Kizzy

Geography

‘We studied the town Chembakoli, in India and I enjoyed finding out about their daily life, what they eat and how they build their own houses’ Johan

PE

‘We made up our own Bollywood dancing moves, and performed them in front of the class. It was tricky getting all the moves in time’ Hannah

DT

‘DT was my favourite subject because in Year 4 we made cool mini chairs and pneumatic toys that move when you push the syringe’ Becca

Music

‘We all had a chance to learn how to play a new musical instrument – which was terrific! We even got to do a performance to our parents at the end! Some children then continued with their chosen instrument’ Eliza
