Year 4 Blog

Year 4 began Fairy Tale Week by making a list of as many Fairy Tales they could think of!  They found so many and then had the opportunity to read some of them in the Library and in the classroom.  We all enjoyed reading Anthony Browne's version of Hansel and Gretel during the week and finding some of the visual clues within the illustrations.  The week ended with a dressing up day, with characters from Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk!  Year 4 have started to write their own versions of Hansel and Gretel, with a twist to the ending!  Watch this spac

Year 4 have been busy researching how people celebrate Christmas around the world!  They presented some fantastic, creative projects about different countries and shared their presentations with the class.  We all learnt some interesting and unusual facts from these projects.  For example, on New Year's Day in Iceland, people believe that cows can talk!  In Belgium, if children have been bad, Father Christmas will put them in a sack and send them to Spain!  We were also treated to a presentation about Christmas in Poland from Miss Laitl.  Mrs Blomeley

To kickstart Year 4's new topic - CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD - we decided to donate a shoebox to Operation Christmas Child.  The class donated items for a girl which included musical instruments, a Unicorn t-shirt, a stationery set, a hairbrush.

Year 4 have been enjoying learning how to say different types of weather in Spanish.  Senora Buckley brought her "Weather" bag and children chose different items of clothing to match them to the correct Spanish weather. They have also been Weather Reporters, demonstrating impressive Spanish accents as they reported to the class. Well done!  Mrs Blomeley
