Year 4 have been creative with their artwork skills this term, by creating Dot inspired pictures and volcano images in their Iceland project. The children have been exploring various maths problems, both mentally and written and have been developing their writer's voices through adventure narratives, tourist guides and biography writing. Year 4 have even completed their first trip of the year to town as part of Geography.

Winchester INTECH Museum 2023
Winchester Trip - Friday 17th November.
For our trip, please can the children arrive at school on time as normal. They do not need their school bag.
They need to be in full uniform with a coat, water bottle and lunch box/lunch bag.
If they are having a school dinner, a picnic option will be provided (as per the selection on the letter reply slip).
Due to the size of the museum and how we will be moving around the space, please can we ask that uniform items and coats are named, just in case anything is left by a group.
We will be returning to school before home time but will update you with any changes to this (traffic incidents etc).
STEM day - visitor and volcanoes! A huge THANK YOU to Elliot and Alan from Sky, who came to explain his engineering job and how they use satellites to help us watch TV.
We've had some more amazing writing in Year 4, with some well deserved Hoot owls too!
Take a look at our incredible volcanoes. These were all made at home as part of home learning. Thank you parents/guardians for supporting your child with this!

Welcome to Year 4!
We hope that you have all had a fantastic summer and are ready for the new school year.
Year 4 has lots of exciting projects and experiences to get involved with! We can't wait to get started!
We will start the year off with a mini transition project called "The Dot" and this is inspired by Peter H. Reynolds.
Our first full project "Land of Fire and Ice" will immerse the children in the magical wonders that Iceland has to offer. We will be kickstarting this Project with our very exciting volcanoes VR experience!
The staff team have been in the classrooms over the summer and the rooms are all ready for your return on the 4th of September. We will meet on the top playground on Monday at 8:45am ready to go into our new classroom together. At home-time, we will exit through the classroom doors onto the bottom playground (MUGA) from 3:20pm.
We will upload some photographs as we get started so be sure to look back again in the coming weeks.
