Well what a Term 4 we have had! A huge well done to all the pupils and parents for their hard work!

We have had some amazing lessons and some even better celebration days!

World book day saw the class dress up in their favourite character outfits and take part in a shared book read.

Comic Relief raised money for those in need with Year 4 joining in wearing red.

Science Day we joined children in year 3 and 4 from across Kent in an online class and then broke off to do our experiment. We joined back with Kent in the afternoon to share our findings.

Year 4 children loved their shopping adventure to buy gifts for the Someone special event too. Such a caring class we have!

Science Day - Good Vibrations

English Term 4 - Non Chronological Reports

This term we have been reading The Miraculous Tale of Edward Tulane as a class. The children have all very much enjoyed the story and as a result have created some amazing Non Chronological reports on the Queen Mary Ocean Liner. 

Maths

We have had lots of fun this term looking at shapes. Year 4 have explored 2D and 3D shapes looking for vertices, edges and angles.

Year 4 class have also been learning about fractions and decimals. We have been finding equivalent fractions and then used knowledge of fractions to transform them to decimals. They have also been having a go at multiplying decimals by 10 and 100. 

Clever Mathematicians!

Science

In Science this term we have been experimenting with sound.

How is sound made?

How does it travel?

Why does it do this?

The children have really enjoyed the experiments and making loads of noise!

All in the name of Science of course....

History

This Term Year 4 have been learning about the Ancient Maya.

We have looked at who they were, where they lived, who they worshipped and what they discovered that has impacted society today.

The class have researched Mayan inventions to make a poster of the creations of the Mayan people and even designed their own Mayan God after researching some that were believed to have existed.

Easter Egg Hunt

Year 4 had a great Easter egg hunt around the school this term. 29.3

We found lots of goodies that the Easter bunny had left for us!

Year 4 Easter Performance

We are so proud of all our year 4 children. You all did amazingly well telling the story to your school friends, the staff and all the wonderful parents. It was lovely having you all back in to watch what Year 4 have achieved.

Goodbye Mrs Flain

All the staff and pupils of Year 4, St John's, Class spent the afternoon saying a very fond and heartfelt goodbye to Mrs Flain. Their dance to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go was fabulous and I know Mrs Flain enjoyed the memories that it brought back. We wish her all the very best in her new adventure and although it was a very emotional afternoon we will look back on her time with her with big smiles on our faces.

Thank you so much for all that you have for us.
