In RE this week, we were reflecting on what we think the Holy Spirit is. Many children said they think the Holy Spirit is inside strength given by God to help people to do what God wants. It was lovely to hear that children see the Holy Spirit at work in people at home, in school and even in…

Today, Year 4 helped everyone to reflect on the appearance of Jesus to two men on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. At first, the two men didn't recognise Jesus. They recognised Jesus in the breaking of bread. Year 4 reminded us that we can see Jesus in each other when they smile at us,…

We had a wonderful time near Keswick last week. The weather was kind and it was great to spend the time together. The theme for the retreat was 'Getting to know me, getting to know each other, getting to know God'. There were lots of activities led by the staff at Castlerigg plus a long walk to…

Year 4 enjoyed sowing flower seeds this week in one of the raised beds in the playground. Now we're hoping for a return of the warm sunshine so we can watch them grow.

Year 4 have been working hard and concentrating well in developing their throwing and catching skills with tennis balls. Their accuracy has really improved over the last half term. Well done, Year 4!

Today, Year 4 have been singing songs in Latin.

Our playlist is:

      Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes (Listen HERE)

      Old McDonald had a Farm (Listen HERE)

Enjoy!

Year 4 have spent time preparing these beautiful cards, sending prayers for peace to children in Ukraine.

Today we had a lovely walk to the park as part of our fundraising for the people of Ukraine. Well done, Year 4 - great walking and thank you for your generous donations to the CAFOD Ukraine Appeal.

Year 4 conducted a science investigation to see which drink was the fizziest.

We knew that the 'fizz' is actually bubbles of gas, but does gas have a mass? We used digital scales to weigh the drink just after it was poured.

Then we stirred it until there were…

In Year 4, children have been learning about how buying fairtrade products supports the livelihoods of the producers. We played 'the banana game' where each group took on the role of a different part of the chain from the banana workers to the supermarket managers. It helped us to consider all the…

Using our knowledge of circuits from this half term's work, Year 4 had to design and make a game that used a circuit. 

First we explored some games that you can buy; next we made the structure of a 'Buzz Wire' game; finally we connected the structure to a circuit and had some fun playing with…

As part of our learning for Safer Internet Day, Year 4 worked in teams to create posters to display the SMART rules for using the internet safely. We also wrote rules for safe, happy and respectful online gaming. Well done, Year 4!
