Year 4

Welcome to Year 4

Our topic for this term is ‘Powerful Planet.’ The children will learn all about the wonders of our majestic planet. There will be no external school trip but we have booked in a Volcanologist to come and run an interactive session with the children.

In connection with this topic, we plan to have a fundraising activity in Term 2 to raise money for Toilet Twinning. More details about this fund raiser will be sent home later this term.

Dear Parent(s),

We will be taking pupils to Hucclecote Library for the first of their Year 4 visits this year. Whilst at the library, pupils will be given the opportunity to explore the books there and take out a book with their Gloucestershire Library card. This book can then be returned on our next Year 4 visit later this term.

If you do not have a library card, and wish to apply for one, please let your child’s class teacher know and we can provide you with the appropriate form.

Please could you send your child to school with their library card on:

Wednesday 25^th September (Classes 5 and 6)

Friday 27^th September (Class 4)

Year 4 Triumph Over Challenge Day

Year 4 pupils were told that they would have to work harder than they had all year and engage both their bodies and their brains.
They would also spend most of the day failing.
Angus Mcleod gave pupils 10 minutes to learn how to 'master' each of the following skills: juggling, use devil sticks, spin 'things', balance feathers and poles and use gymnastic ribbons. They were then given 10 minutes to create a routine, with their group, to perform to the rest of the class.
They also practised some additional circus skills in class.
We are incredibly grateful for FODJS funding this fantastic experience.
Here’s how they got on:

Brilliant Bookworms!

Year 4 have visited Hucclecote Library to peruse the many books they have on offer. We had a great time and chose some really exciting and intriguing books. Ms. Hayward was particularly impressed by some of their Christmas books. We can't wait to go again, early next term.

South Pole 2020 talk by Wendy Searle

Uploaded by Class Eight on 2017-09-28.

Explorer, Wendy Searle, visited Year 4 to give a presentation on her 2020 expedition to Antarctica. The children got to try wearing/using some of her polar equipment and clothes. We also got to sample some of the dehydrated meals she will eat, such as 'chicken tikka with rice' and 'apple and custard pudding' - they were delicious! Just before lunch, Wendy made the Year 4 staff take turns to pull her training tyre around the school field. What a great morning and what an inspiring visitor!!

A Cacophony of Creatures

Class 5 have been composing music as part of our 'Wild Things' topic. In groups, we composed musical themes to describe different animals. We shared our compositions with each other and tried to guess what animals we were describing. It was great fun!
