Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you have all had a wonderful week! We have certainly had an action-packed time in Year 4, filled with exciting learning opportunities.
One of the highlights was our science workshop on Thursday, where we kicked off our new topic on electricity. The children were fully engaged as they explored how electrical circuits work through a series of hands-on activities. They had the chance to build their own circuits using wires, bulbs, buzzers, and switches, testing different components to see how they affected the flow of electricity. It was fantastic to see their curiosity and problem-solving skills in action as they experimented with making complete and incomplete circuits. Please find some pictures of this event below:
Today was also an incredibly exciting day as we celebrated World Book Day, and I was truly amazed by the imagination and creativity that went into the children’s costumes. It was wonderful to see such a variety of characters brought to life!
We were lucky to have a visit from author Camilla Chester, who led a fantastic whole-school assembly where she shared insights into her work and what inspires her writing. Following this, she ran a brilliant workshop for Year 4, where we created our own unique plots and characters before merging them into a board game. The children then had the chance to play their games with Year 3, bringing their ideas to life in such a fun and interactive way.
At break time, the children took part in a riddle challenge, solving clues placed around the school to uncover mystery book characters. Next week, three lucky participants will be randomly selected to win a book of their choice (up to the value of £10).
Later in the day, the children worked collaboratively in ‘The Great Story Crossover’—a creative writing activity where they teamed up with pupils from different year groups to craft a story inspired by the characters they had dressed up as. The teamwork and storytelling on display were fantastic!
We finished off the day with a lovely reading session in Reception and Nursery, where the children had the chance to share their love of reading with younger pupils. It was a heart-warming way to end a wonderful day, celebrating the joy of books and storytelling.
As the day was so busy, we were unable to fit in our usual spelling test. This will now take place on Monday instead.
The fun doesn’t stop there, as our celebration of Science Week continues on Monday with an exciting visit from the planetarium! The children will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the wonders of space, deepening their understanding of our solar system in a truly memorable way.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and I look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday for another fantastic week!
The Year 4 Team
