Year 4 had their first recorder lesson this week led by the music hub.
We were very impressed with their grit and determination and listening skills.

Year 4 watercolour art
This week, year four have been learning new watercolour techniques which they will use when creating pieces related to the Iron Man. They worked on their brush control and saw the effects that salt and clingfilm could have on their paint.
Year 4 – Science – Digestive System
Last week, Year 4 pupils took part in an engaging science lesson that brought the digestive system to life. Through a hands-on, guided activity using everyday materials, the children explored the journey of food through the human body, from mouth to bowel. This interactive experience deepened their understanding of digestion and proved to be a highly memorable and enjoyable lesson for all involved.
Y4 Boom Whacker Fun
This week, Year 4 practised playing along to a hoedown piece using boomwhackers. They worked hard on keeping in time as a group and reading the musical notation. Next week, the class is looking forward to starting a some Christmas carols.
Year 4 Catapults
In year four this week we have enjoyed making working Roman catapult models. The pupils had to measure, saw and glue the parts together. We used elastic bands for the mechanism and then tested them outside with erasers and plastic soldiers.
Year 4 Friendship Workshop
Year 4 were fortunate to take part in a friendship workshop today presented by staff from the NHS. We learned how to resolve conflicts, how to recognise the positive qualities in ourselves and finally some relaxation and breathing techniques.
Year 4 teeth experiment
Year 4 pupils explored how everyday drinks can affect our teeth by using eggshells as a model for tooth enamel. They placed eggs in water, orange juice, blackcurrant and Coca-Cola, then observed how each drink stained or damaged the shells. The activity helped them understand how sugary and acidic drinks can impact dental health.
Making Musicians Trip
Some children were able to go to Norwich Cathedral today for a concert by some Norwich School scholars. The children enjoyed vocals and piano pieces by a range of composers. They particularly enjoyed looking around the cathedral before and after.
Year 4 Roman Town Design
This week in history, our year 4s learnt about how the Romans designed their towns and cities. With a forum at the centre, city walls with gate houses, amphitheatres, bath houses, a basilica and temples, we were amazed at how many different buildings featured. After finding out how we know so much about these towns today, we spent the afternoon designing our own as you can see below.
Year 4 – Volcanoes 🌋
This afternoon year four were learning about why volcanoes and earthquakes tend to occur in the same locations. We watched some amazing videos showing the huge power of these natural disasters. To finish the lesson, we recorded the stages of a volcanic eruption. We have loved studying earthquakes and volcanoes this term and look forward to our next geography project after Christmas.
