Year 4 have thoroughly enjoyed science week: exploring the different areas of science (biology, chemistry and physics), making predictions, observing and the highlight had to be our biscuit experiment. The children concluded that out of cold, medium heat and hot water, the hot water resulted in fewer dunks possible. Although we discussed a few anomalies, the trend in data was overall very conclusive, but most importantly, the children had a wonderful time! Thank you to our super, supportive parents for sending in the mugs with their children to make this whole-school investigation possible!

As part of our Ancient Egypt topic, Year 4 have been busy mummifiying a tomato. The children had a super time and will now have to wait and observe over time to see if their tomatos will remain preserved. Who did it better: The Egyptians or Preston's Y4?

What a super week Year 4 have had! They have thoroughly enjoyed investigating what affects pitch and volume in science. Additionally, they have been using counters in division. A tricky concept, but our hard working children have shown true determination and resilience. Well done!

Year 4 have had a wonderful week of learning. They have started their new topic of sound and are thoroughly enjoying their PE lessons of tennis and circuits too. The children were superb in creating their freeze frames to summarise the key events in our new class book: The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Well done Year 4!

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their Mediterranean tasting afternoon which was promptly followed by Forest School. The children were very brave in trying a variety of foods including, but not limited to: capers, a whole host of breads, sun dried tomatoes, salami, paella, brie and feta cheese! A super afternoon was had by all.

Year 4 have had another busy week. The start of the new half term has given us lots of new learning to look forward to. Our times tables knowledge is growing each week with our new, progressive Times Tables Olympics. This is where children progress through the times table levels in the hopes of reaching the top World Championship level!

Year 4 has had a wonderful week full of lots of learning and fun. We have been focussing on our reading skills of inference. Additionally, the children have had to work hard to find evidence to support their inferences and impressions too.

We completed our final fitness circuit training. The children have made huge amounts of progress; we even increased the time for each station from 2 minutes to 3 minutes as a final lesson challenge. It's safe to say, there were a few red faces by the end. Well done!

Year 4 has had a very busy week! We have been learning about Roman Numerals in maths and starting our writing journey to produce a superb diary entry from the perspective of Iliona (Roman Diary's main character).

Well done Year 4!
