Year 4

As part of our Online Safety Curriculum, children have been revising and learning about what information they should and shouldn't share online.  

In Art, children have been exploring the work of Barbara Hepworth. She is known for creating sculptures by carving.

It was great fun, but very messy! 

As part of our new Science learning, children have been grouping and sorting…

Year 4 children have been revisiting previous learning of Fractions.  

Recently, year 4 have been looking at plagiarism online (aka copycats!).

of information online.

Mr Orme took Year 4 out for the afternoon after they were invited by The Woodlands Trust to take part in their Frodsham Hills Tree Planting Project on 7^th February 2024.  We planted little trees and enjoyed finding out about conservation.  Some of these trees might still be here in 100 years’ time…

Year 4 had a smashing morning on Thursday with the Fire & Rescue service coming in to teach the class about fire safety. In addition, the children were treated to a tour of the fire engine by two of the firemen!

This afternoon, the children in Year 4 have been using squirty cream (molten rock) and biscuits (tectonic plates)  to answer:  'How are Mountains formed?'

Of course, we had to eat them afterwards. 

Children in Year 4 have been consolidating their Science learning on the digestive system.
