Children have developed plenty of new art skills during this year’s Christmas card-making endeavour! Learning continues right up to the very last day of term!
Author Visit - Hannah Durkan
This week everyone is talking about Zeina Starborn and the Sky Whale by the fantastic author Hannah Durkan! We were so inspired by her assemblies and book signing. We can’t wait to write our own science fiction stories!
Exploring Sound
In Year 4 we used our knowledge of sound to create our own musical instruments. We are thinking of starting our own band!

Kestrel celebrated Chinese New Year by creating wonderful artwork inspired by the festival.
Magpie observed then creatively sketched mythical dragons and ferocious tigers to celebrate Chinese New Year and the Year of the Tiger.

Year 4 Yoga Club
Children are learning that the body benefits from movement and the mind benefits from stillness.
Boudicca and the Romans
Year 4 have been acquiring knowledge about the Romans - who they were and their impact upon our society today. In addition, to support connections throughout our learning, within reading we have considered the Iceni tribe leader, Boudicca, a strong, though controversial woman. She challenged the Roman conquest in Britain and put up a valiant fight to avert Roman ownership of English land. Unifying our learning within literacy, we used the excitement of gladiatorial battles to create news reports from the coliseum (some quite gruesome facts came to light - for instance, the charge from the Emperor to fight lions for your freedom from slavery).
Breaking news from Hugh’s News! Our Year 4 journalists have been busy exploring the importance of freedom of religion in Beeston, Leeds.
I Have a Dream!
