Life Education - it's Great to be Me!
This afternoon in Year 4 we had our Life Education Workshop- It’s Great to be Me! We looked at all sorts of things including relationships, how we are all unique and how smoking and alcohol can affect our bodies. We really enjoyed taking part in the activities and look forward to learning even more in our follow up PSHE lessons.
Year 4 - Prayer work
In RE, Year 4 used sorting cards and the process of elimination to decide what’s most important about prayer. They were absolutely brilliant at explaining their choices and challenging each other. They then decided on the 5 most important things to them.
Be a Baker - Food Technology
Today we have been completing our food technology lessons on how to ‘ Be a Baker”. Over the last few weeks we have done bread testing sessions, identifying what foods we eat have flour in them ( you’d be surprised) and today we became actual bakers and created our own samples. We used different techniques to make them and we can’t wait to taste the end product tomorrow.
Well-being Warriors - What makes the best healthy break time snack?
As part of our work as Well-being Warriors, we have been looking at what we should bring in for our break time snacks in school. We have looked at lots of options and discussed how healthy they are, along with how much ‘hidden sugar’ they have. We are going to create posters and add these to dojo so that our parents and carers know what we are allowed to bring in as we have noticed an increase in children being less healthy options.
Geography - Counties in England
In our geography lesson today, we have been looking at identifying counties in England. We used compass points to solve problems such as which counties border other counties and which are the largest/smallest counties in our country.
Sportshall Athletics in Year 4
Today we have been trying out various events from Sportshall Athletics. We completed both track and field events then practised with a baton exchange in relays. Everyone worked so hard and pushed themselves to achieve their best! Well done Year 4

FOSB Christmas Gift Shop
The children have really enjoyed buying items from our Christmas gift shop. A huge thank you to our FOSB group for making it such a huge success!
Winter Art
We have been very busy creating more masterpieces in Year 4 today. The children used chalk to create these winter scenes and we are sure that you will agree that they are very impressive!
Junior Christmas lunch
Our juniors loved their Christmas lunch today. It was wonderful to see them cracking crackers with their friends and wearing their party hats. We had a singalong to some of our favourite Christmas songs too. Thank you Mellors for the lovely Christmas lunch!
Y4 Testing Circuits
Y4 created two types of circuits, parallel and series, to tests which would be best for making a light up spinner card.
