Year 4 Girls Crossbar Cup

On Thursday the Year 4 girls took part in the final Crossbar Cup of the year at Lilleshall National Sports Centre.

In the group stage they played 6 games, winning 3, drawing 2 and only losing 1 game meaning we finished in 4^th place and qualifying for the semi finals of the plate competition.

After drawing 0-0 in the semis, we won via a penalty shootout securing a place in the final. A 1-1 draw against Old Park meant yet again we went to a penalty shootout which we managed to win 3-2 and therefore won the Crossbar Plate!

The girls played some amazing football and scored some fantastic goals even in the difficult temperatures.

Careers Week – Year 4

Year 4 had an exciting careers week visitor today, author Paul Taylor! Paul enjoys writing poetry and short stories about animals. He shared some of his work with the children. Year 4 especially enjoyed ‘Annie, The Windy Donkey’.

The children were able to ask Paul plenty of questions about his work. He explained how long it takes to write his stories and how he gathers his inspiration. Paul was especially excited as Year 4 are currently writing their very own Harry Potter kennings and he enjoyed listening to some of our poems!

Yr 4 – Harry Potter Studios

Year 4 had an extremely exciting day at the Harry Potter Studios tour last Thursday!

Firstly, the children did a workshop where they learnt about how author’s creatures were brought to life for the big screen. We looked at how JK Rowling described the creatures in her books and we got to create our own mythical creatures.

We got to experience the magic of the 25^th anniversary of the Philosopher’s stone while we were there. Children were immersed in the magic of the sets, costumes and props from the films, all of which will help us with our descriptive writing units. The children especially enjoyed walking down Diagon Alley, which we are writing about as part of our portal narrative in English.

Then, on Friday, the children had a visit from our very own Hedgwig. One of our parents brought in a baby barn owl to visit the children.

Yr 4 Reading Café

This half term, the Year 4 classes proudly hosted their Starbooks cafés. It was wonderful to welcome parents into school to share stories with their children while enjoying a hot drink and a snack together.

The event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the variety of books in our library and celebrate reading for pleasure.

Thank you to all the families who attended and helped make the event such a success!

Yr 4 D&T – Making purses

In Design and Technology this half term, Year 4 built on their sewing skills by practising running stitch and backstitch, which they then used to sew their purses together.

The children enjoyed designing and making a purse for a friend and focused on embellishing their designs to make them unique.

Year 4 can’t wait to take their purses to Harry Potter World with their spending money inside!

British Science Week 2026

British Science Week this year was all about igniting children’s curiosity through questioning! We did lots of fun activities throughout school – here are just a few that the children took part in …

Year 1 spent some time outside and explored the different weather conditions we get in the UK! They wondered what happens when we sometimes have sun and rain together? And why do we have fog in Autumn?

In Year 2, they looked at what plants need to grow. They had a discussion about plants and came up with a few questions that they were intrigued to find out from their experiment! They are…Do plants need sunlight to grow? How many days will it take our sunflower to grow? What will happen if we do not water our plants? Can we grow sunflowers without water and sunlight?

Year 4 discovered why it was so important to look after our teeth. They placed eggs in different liquid and studied what happened over time. They realised the egg shells acted like the enamel on our teeth and discovered what sugary drinks, vinegar and coffee could do to your teeth!

Year 4 Digestive System Science

FUN SCIENCE LESSON ALERT!

On Friday afternoon, Year 4 recreated a model of the digestive system.

The children chewed up their Weetabix, banana and biscuit, crushing it up like the mouth would do. They learnt that the saliva helps coat the food in the mouth, making it easier to swallow.

The mushy food mixture was then transferred into a sandwich bag (this was our stomach). They added orange juice, which represented the stomach acid, and this helped break down the food even further. After some more squishing, the food became a consistency similar to liquid. Then, our science activity got even more messy … we transferred this mixture into a pair of tights and squeezed out all the juice. This showed children what happens in the small intestine as this is where all the good and useful nutrients get absorbed into the bodies’ bloodstream. What is left is the waste that our body doesn’t need – and that is what comes out when we go to the toilet! Yuck!

Year 4 Think Tank trip

On Wednesday, Year 4 visited Think Tank as part of their science topic on the digestive system.

The children had lots of fun exploring the exhibits, especially the one that was all about the human body. We also got to take part in an interactive workshop all about the digestive system. We learnt about the food groups that should make up a healthy diet and what happens in our body once we eat our meals!
