Reading

Year 4 thoroughly enjoy books and a favourite class text is Last Bear by Hannah Gold. We read for pleasure and to further our literacy skills.

We gain extra rewards for regular home reading.

PE Specialist Coaches

Year 4 are extremly lucky to be taught by specialist two PE coaches on a Wednesday and Thursday. We enjoy gymnastics greatly. We have been enhancing our defending and attacking skills.

Year 4 Class Assembly

Year 4 performed their Class assembly on Tuesday 20th January. We love to perform to parents and carers.

Many visits fill our year in Year 4 as you will see from our class page. One of our favourites has been a visit to the Pink Gymn to practice and further our gymnastics skills learnt in the school hall.

Visit from County Durham & Darlington NHS Foundation Trust

We have had a visit from County Durham and Darlington NHS Trust where they have shown our Year 4 students what it is like in an operating theatre. After discussing the types of roles involved in an operating theatre, they explained the importance of clear, concise and precise communication. During the morning, the children had the opportunity to try several different activities associated with working in an operating theatre environment. We've had an amazing time and are very grateful for the group coming into school.

Year 4 Class Assembly

Year 4 performed a fantastic assembly in front of a large audience of pupils, parents and carers. They have had lots of fun collaborating to produce this assembly.

Our topic was 'Celebrating Differences. This topic also covered the theme of anti-bullying.

Human Digestion

In Year 4 we have started a new topic on ‘Human digestion’ in science. Today, the children worked in groups to create their own model of what they thought the digestive system looked like. Afterwards, they labelled the parts of the human digestive system.

Modern day parables

As part of our RE unit, pupils worked in small groups to create a modern day version of the parable, The Good Samaritan.’

Afterwards, we discussed the messages behind familiar parables.
