Happy Half Term Blue Class

Well done Blue Class for another successful half term during which you continued to work hard with great resilience and independence. We kicked off 2026 with an exciting 'Let's Perform' topic where you performed Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to the rest of the school with confidence and enjoyed creating films linked to all of your learning. Today, you proudly shared them with Yellow Class who were very impressed with your film making skills. During this topic, we sent your letters written in English based on The Willow Pattern story to the author Allan Drummond and we excitedly await his feedback when he Zooms in with us next half term.

We finished the half term with a 'Beliefs and Values' topic where we enjoyed reading an award-winning text, The Rhythm of Rain by Grahame Baker-Smith, and created your own information poster to help people learn how special water is. We hope your grown ups at home have enjoyed reading them. During this topic we also learned about the Hindu faith. Our trip to the Hindu temple was certainly a fascinating one particularly being able to observe many rituals, see artefacts and hear stories learned about in school. Visiting such a place, for many of us, was very different and new but the respect and curiosity shown by all of you was noted by our guide and other visitors there. These experiences are important in helping you to understand how diverse our local area is and how such diversity helps make our community and wider world an interesting place to live.

It has been a busy and hardworking half term so have a good break this week. We hope you are enjoying time at home or away, with lots of time to rest and play. A little bit of reading and times table practice would be really helpful too so that you continue where you left off when you return. We look forward to seeing you on Monday 23th February when we will be stepping back in time and learning about The Vikings!

Be safe, helpful and kind and we'll see you all soon.

Love from Miss Townsend and Miss Kuriger xxx

Happy Christmas Blue Class

Well done Blue Class for a great end of term. Your performance of The Snowman was fantastic and certainly gave the festive animation a run for its money! You led the way brilliantly as Year 4s with great singing, dancing, acting, narrating and even being stagehands.

We’ve certainly shared a lot of exciting learning this half term including our Book Celebration Day, delving into the fictional works of Charles Dickens and investigating states of matter in Science including a chocolate experiment! And what a lovely end to the term this week with a festive panto, a delicious Christmas dinner (thank you to Mrs Barker and Mrs Miles), a theatre trip and fun party games! You've all been stars and have made it really enjoyable for the adults too.

We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and enjoy having fun and lots of rest with your family. Thank you so much for the very kind gifts and messages. It is very kind and generous of you.

Only six more sleeps to go so keep being patient and keep safe.

Happy Half Term Blue Class

Hello Blue Class,

Well done for an excellent first half term in Year 4. You have worked very hard and are setting an example to the rest of the school. Learning about 'Ancient Egypt' including an adventure in London followed by 'Planet Earth' have been enjoyable topics and it ended in style with your fantastic family assembly. We were very proud of you during your performance with excellent singing, narrating, chime set playing and acting. Your grown ups were certainly blown away by how much you've learned in just one half term!

When we return to school, our new topic is 'Best Books' where we'll be sharing a classic Charles Dickens tale and developing your Science and Art skills further. We'd like you to bring your favourite book from home on the first day back to share with us and to help you create some art work for a new classroom display.

Have a lovely half term break with lots of rest and play. If you are able to find some time to work on your targets we sent home this week, that would be great. 

Keep safe and have fun!

Love from Miss Townsend and Mrs Hipkiss xxx
