Year 4

HIGHLIGHTS

Year 4

What a year! We have been extremely busy in Year 4 and can’t quite believe it’s finished so quickly. There’s almost too much to mention; who can forget a visit from a real life dancing lion to celebrate the Lunar New Year, to creating our own Ancient Egyptian canopic burial jars, amazing art, marvellous music lessons, and of course all the fun of the Festival!

We loved being able to go on trips again, and we kicked off our ‘Turn it up!’ topic, focusing on the science of sound, with a visit to local favourite, the Horniman museum. We got our hands on a range of instruments from around the world, learned about how they produce sound and even played a calypso! We learned about magnets and even visited the Senior School Science labs for a lesson on electromagnets with Dr Qadiri. The Lent term saw the first ever combined Year 3 and 4 Showcase, which provided a wonderful opportunity to welcome parents back into the school in our new dedicated performance space, with a mixture of dance, spoken word, and for the first time ever, cheerleading! We all agreed it was a huge thrill to be back performing on stage after so long. In Trinity we were massively excited (and maybe even a little nervous!) to embark on the Year 4 residential, where we spent three glorious days in the Suffolk sunshine, zip-lining, bow and archerying (is that even a word?), team building and crabbing, as well as enjoying the freedom of the great outdoors and staying up extremely late. We can’t wait for our next residential, and are already looking forward to what Year 5 holds in store! It’s been a wonderful year.
