WELCOME TO YEAR 4
St Francis's class
Cathedral visit- Fr Dermott kindly gave us a tour of the Cathedral and spoke to us about how our local parish supports the community.

Holiday Homework- Some fantastic projects from the Christmas holidays based on the Snowman.
Topic-We had a workshop looking at different froms of Greek art and what it can tell us!

Our amazing Holiday Homework projects!
Local Area Week- we had a workshop where we got to handle real artefacts from the Romans. We learnt how they invaded Britain and were actually in Southwark!
A group of Year 4's went to a football tournament today. We played well and tried hard but most importantly we had fun.
Learning about Asia- we created paintings inspired by Russian artist Kandinsky!
DT- In DT, we have been making clay pots and vases inspired by the Ancient Greeks!
Science Investigation: Cornstarch and water- it looks like a liquid but goes hard when you press it!
Science Museum Trip- We went to the Wonderlab and then had a great (but disgusting) workshop all about the digestive system!
Year 4 have made a fantastic start to the school year. They have been working hard in all subjects and have been working well together as a class.
The Curriculum newsletter contains all of the information on what the children will be learning this term and our PE days are on a Monday and Wednesday.
Please ensure your child reads at least three times a week.
Homework will continue to be set on a Wednesday and will be due in on the following Monday.
It is very important children are also going on Bedrock and Mathletics as part of their homework.
Science- we have been learning about teeth and are investigating what type of drink damages them the most using eggshell to represent the enamel!
Topic- we are learning about the Ancient Greeks and worked out where they would go in a timeline!
Maths- we have been learning about place value and have enjoyed making numbers from apparatus!
