Year 4

HIGHLIGHTS

Year 4

What a year we have had, but it has certainly not dampened our spirits in Year 4! The pupils started the year with a bang – quite literally! They built their own volcanoes for the IPC topic ‘Active Planet’ and had a lot of fun erupting them in the playground. Both classes enjoyed filming their virtual class assemblies, having fun testing out as many video effects as possible.

Things changed in the New Year when we once again found ourselves learning from our kitchen tables. Nevertheless, Year 4 were unfazed and after a quick adjustment, can now confidently call themselves tech experts! It has been great to see so many of these newlylearned computer skills being put to use in the creative and professional work we have seen from our pupils. The pupils demonstrated their resilience and determination yet again, to make the best of the year when preparing and performing their Roald Dahlinspired showcase. Despite the initial disappointment of a full production not taking place, the energy and vigour the pupils brought to singing, dancing and acting was admirable. From singing songs from Matilda, to acting out scenes from The Twits, The BFG and James and the Giant Peach, it proved a real treat for Dahl fans! To finish the year in style, the children in Year 4 had an evening packed full of fun activities! Despite truly awful weather, we persevered with an (under cover) campfire and bushcraft session, (indoor) BBQ, team building games and a mug of hot chocolate and marshmallows in their own designed mugs. It was a lovely way to end what has been an interesting year!
