Latest Year 4 News

• Friday 23 May 2025 Year 4 are Fashionistas! Year 4 Fashion Day! This meant children coming to school in their very best outfits, presenting their research projects, and getting involved in some serious D&T. They made friendship bracelets using thread, beads and the power of friendship, and then upcycled old t-shirts into swanky new tote bags. Tote-ally awesome!
• Friday 9 May 2025 Year 4 Create Fabulous Slippers! This week, 4SH slipped into the world of textiles as they began creating their very own slippers! These they designed by themselves, with a target audience in mind, using their knowledge of product marketing. They seemed to enjoy doing it -- they spent the whole time in stitches. 4P have designed theirs this week, and will be creating them next week, so there are good things coming... or sew its seams.
• Friday 25 April 2025 LKS2 Tennis Tournament This week, Year 4 made a racket in the best of ways, competing in the Waltham Forest LKS2 Tennis Tournament. Teams A and B did fantastically, managing to reach the quarter finals, Team B a measly 4 points away! Way to go kids!
• Monday 3 March 2025 Year 4 adventures in Roman History and Cheese! Year 4 had quite a bit of fun this week. Firstly, they began their journey into the history of Rome by acting out the story of Romulus and Remus. Some were a bit nervous about getting up in front of the class, but you know what they say, when in Rome... Secondly, they got their hands dirty in science... investigating cheese! Mr Perna needed to make a quick cheese toasty for lunch, but only had 5 minutes to make it. Luckily, Year 4 were on the case to identify the cheese that would melt the quickest, using their knowledge of materials, so he could be back to class on time. However, after all their hard work, Mr Perna elected to simply eat ALL of the cheeses. How dairy!
• Tuesday 11 February 2025 4P's Safer Internet Day 2025 For Safer Internet Day, our Year 4 class has been phishing for knowledge about online scams! They've been learning how to spot sneaky tricks and byte back against scammers. From fake emails to bogus websites, our students are becoming scam-savvy and mastering the art of staying safe online. We’re so proud of how they’ve clicked with the lessons, and now they’re ready to surf the web safely, with their eyes wide open to the dangers!
• Friday 7 February 2025 4SH Assembly- up Pompeii! Last Friday, we were treated to the glitz and glamour of another class assembly. This week, 4SH, directed by the expertise of Mrs Sandhu Hanif, took to the boards to deliver an epic about Ancient Rome. We were transported back to Ancient Pompeii and discovered the horrors that befell that once glorious city at the hands of Mount Vesuvius.
• Thursday 9 January 2025 Year 4 explore the story of King Midas and the Golden Touch This week, Year 4 began their journey into myths by looking at the story of King Midas and the Golden Touch. As it's a dramatic story, we thought we Midas well act it out too! This is a great way to embed the story in their minds which will aid in writing their own versions of the tale next week!
• Tuesday 10 December 2024 Year 4 Grab a Slice! This week, Year 4 grabbed a slice of the action by designing and making their own healthy pizzas! This means a healthy balance of protein, carbohydrates, fat and veggies in every bite. They had an amazing time being little chefs—I'm positive they'll jump at the chance to help out in the kitchen at home...
• Thursday 5 December 2024 Year 4 Conducted an Eggcellent Eggsperiment! This week, Year 4 conducted an eggcellent eggsperiment. The plan was to investigate how different can drinks affect our teeth; however, since (thanks to the prohibition of corporal punishment in 1986) we aren't allowed to remove children's teeth, we used boiled eggs! Eggshells possess a very similar chemical composition to teeth, you see. So far, the eggs seem to be reacting to the different liquids; releasing some rather interesting smells! We'll keep you updated.
• Friday 29 November 2024 Year 4 Explore the Digestive System! This week, Year 4 learned all about the digestive system. Learning about all of the organs involved was really intestine their memories—thankfully, they had the stomach for it! They were particularly impressed to find out that their stomachs contain an acid strong enough melt metal! Iron't you glad we've got a protective mucus layer to stop it melting us?
• Monday 21 October 2024 Year 4 Egyptian Day! This week, Year 4 brought Ancient Egypt to the school—and I don't mean they brought their mummies!—for Ancient Egyptian Day! Just look at their amazing costumes that they made/prepared at home. Among other activities, the children made Canopic jars out of clay, just in case they one day need to store some loose organs. Good thing none of the artefacts we've handled were cursed; no one wants a re-enactment of Ghost with Tutankhamun's shrivelled apparition!
• Wednesday 18 September 2024 Year 4 travel to Egypt!
