Friday 9 October 2026 Mental Health Awareness Today was World Mental Health Day 2026. Year Four used their PSHE lesson to consider how to improve their own mental health with ideas such as exercise, learning something new, eating healthy foods and talking to others. The children designed their own posters to encourage people to take part in activities to improve their mental health. They were then given time to complete some mindfulness colouring and had a chance to relax in thought after a busy week. They produced beautiful, colourful designs.

Friday 25 September 2026 Marvellous Maths! In year 4, the children have been learning about place value. They have explored the value of digits in numbers in the thousands and ten thousands, and they have partitioned them using the waterfall method. Here, they have learnt the importance of a 'place holder 0'. They have also studied these numbers on number lines with different intervals, and calculated 1000 more and less than any 4 or 5-digit number. Using this understanding, they have been able to compare 4-digit numbers using symbols and the vocabulary 'greater than' and 'less than'. As part of the place value topic, they also learn about Roman Numerals, and have enjoyed converting between them and modern day digits.

Thursday 10 September 2026 Super Sound! This week, Year Four began their unit on Sound in Science lessons. The children discussed different things they could hear around them and the importance of hearing as one of their five senses. They then investigated how different instruments, such as glockenspiels, maracas, drums, tambourines, guitars and triangles, produce sound. Once they had done this, their next challenge was to investigate how to change the pitch. The children had lots of fun producing high and low sounds. What a noisy start to the term!
Friday 4 September 2026 Year 4 Book Launch Year 4 had an exciting start to their new class text this week! The children became book detectives, searching the forest and field for mysterious clues.
