Class update from Friday 10^th October 2025:

Year 4 have been continuing to work hard and have especially enjoyed their writing around ‘Arthur and the Golden Rope’ in English lessons. Using elements from the story, they planned and wrote their own adventure stories, placing themselves in the action and imagining a treacherous journey across a sea of mucus monsters to retrieve a glowing diamond from a cave. They thought carefully about their vocabulary choices and created three main plot points to bring their stories to life.

In science, the children used their knowledge of conductors and insulators to make their very own switches using card and different types of pins/clips. They thought carefully about their design and demonstrated how they could open and close their switches to control the flow of electricity. They checked that they were fit for purpose by using the equipment to make complete circuits.

It has been great to see the children participate so enthusiastically in their ukulele lessons. Despite only having done a few lessons, their confidence is already evident and they are excited to keep learning and practising their skills. 

In art, the children learned about different shading techniques including cross hatching, stippling and scumbling.
