In Year 4 we enjoy a broad and balanced, cross curricular curriculum which challenges us, explores a range of topics and enables us to achieve our full potential.

Take a look at what we have been learning about below.

4AD 2024-2025

Hello Yellow Day

On Thursday 11th October, we celebrated World Mental Health Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues with children and advocating for more support and understanding. And what better way to do that than with a splash of sunshine? That’s why this year’s celebration was all about saying, Hello Yellow!

National Poetry Day!

We had a fantastic time celebrating National Poetry Day on Thursday 3rd October 2024.

We created our very own free verse poems about The Nowhere Emporium and performed them in front of the class. We also looked at a range of poetry styles inspired by our class novel 'The Nowhere Emporium'.

We performed our free verse poems!

Reading

Year 4 Get Creative with Aaaargh, Spider!

Our Year 4 children had a fantastic time reading the fun and engaging book Aaaargh, Spider! By Lydia Monks. As part of their reading skills lessons, the children wrote in the role of the Spider by writing a thought bubble about what the spider would be thinking throughout the story.

The class also created colourful information posters about spiders. These posters are filled with creepy, fascinating facts designed to teach others all about these amazing creatures, helping to unravel some common fears!

Well done, Year 4, for your creativity and hard work!

A member of the Fire Safety Team from Sunderland and South Shields Fire Brigade came in to vist Year 4 to speak to us about the importance of keeping our homes safe from fire. They shared some really useful tips on how to avoid fires, like the importance of checking smoke alarms regularly, practicing family escape plans, keeping flammable items away from heat, and being careful not to overload plug sockets.
