Year 4

The theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is ‘Know Yourself;Grow Yourself’ so in Year 4 we have spent this week focusing on Growth Mindset. We know that mistakes help us to improve, we must always try new strategies and that we will get there in the end. We have all created our own,…

For NSPCC Number Day this year, Year 4 have enjoyed a Maths filled morning. We have played a carousel of different Maths games and have challenged each other to create our own. We’ve then explored a range of different online Maths games that we haven’t tried before. 
 

In Year 4, to celebrate St Bridget’s feast day, we have been learning about her life and work. St Bridget dedicated her life to helping the people of her community and so we decided that we would like to help some of the people in our own.

This week, Year 4 enjoyed a fabulous Christmas treat at Theatre By The Lake in Keswick to watch a performance of The Jungle Book. We loved the show, clapped along to the songs and were on the edge of our seats during the action scenes!

To continue our DT topic, learning about what actually goes in to make our food, we have today investigated different breads and made our own bread rolls, using fresh ingredients. They smelt and tasted delicious! 
 

In DT this term we are learning about the ingredients that are in the foods we eat.  We have been investigating the differences between mass produced food and food made fresh, using quality ingredients. We then made our very own pizzas from scratch.  They were absolutely delicious and something we…
