Odd Socks Day for Anti-Bullying Week

Odd Socks Day was a fun and colourful way to celebrate what made everyone different and special! We wore our brightest, wackiest, and most mismatched socks. It was a wonderful reminder that it’s okay to stand out and be yourself. The event also helped us talk about kindness, respect, and anti-bullying. By wearing odd socks, we showed that we value everyone for who they are, no matter how different they might be.

Science - Which fizzy drink is the fizziest?

We carried out an investigation to consider which fizzy drink is the fizziest to evaluate whether gas has mass! We worked in groups and tested each drink three times to ensure we carried out a fair and accurate test. We had four drinks; CocaCola, Dr Pepper, Fanta and Sprite. Then we ensured to measure the same amount of each liquid (100ml). We then weighed the drinks when fizzy and then 2 hours later when flat. We then calculated the difference between these results to see the difference in carbon dioxide. The drink with the greatest difference would be the fizziest. Our findings show that Sprite was the fizziest drink and Fanta was the least fizzy drink!

Art Masterclass

Year 4 had their first art masterclass of the year and looked at the intricate and detailed artwork of the Anglo-Saxons. They used their observation skills to try to recreate some of the amazing designs. 

Viking Villagers visit to Compton Verney

Year 4 had a fantastic time on their trip to Compton Verney, where they took part in an exciting Viking Villagers workshop. The children were transported back in time to the Viking era and experienced what life was like in a Viking settlement. Through hands-on activities, they explored traditional Viking crafts, learnt about daily life and survival skills, prepared some delicious Viking bread and even took part in role-play as Viking villagers. The workshop was a brilliant opportunity to deepen their understanding of our Theme topic this term and brought the world of the Vikings to life in a fun, interactive way.

Thank you to Miss Dineen-Such, Mrs Reynolds and Heather for your help on our trip!

Times Tables Learning Event

Year 4 welcomed parents and carers for their times tables learning event this week! We played several games including; times tables snap, a memory game, a matching activity, Times Tables Rockstars and even did some active maths with supermovers and ended with a rather competitive game of bingo! Thank you for joining us and supporting your children with learning their times tables up to 12 x 12 - we hope you enjoyed the event.

Hello Yellow - World Mental Health Day!

Today we celebrated World Mental Health Day as a whole school, to highlight the importance of keeping our minds healthy and looking after our wellbeing. We played wellbeing bingo, practised a range of breathing/calming exercises and also took part in some mindfulness colouring.

Swimming at Southam Leisure Centre

Year 4 have demonstrated many of our values including; perseverance, responsibility and respect during our swimming lessons for Autumn term! It has been fantastic to see how much progress the children have made in such a short space of time - even the instructors commented on their fabulous progress! Well done year 4 and keep up the hard work!

Harvest Service

Year 4 were fantastic at leading our Harvest Service at Church on Thursday! They sang beautifully, linked our service to our six school values and even demonstrated the Bible story ‘The Parable of the Farmer and seeds’. Mr Andrews and Mrs Reynolds were both incredibly proud of the children and their fantastic efforts with this service. Well done everyone - You were fabulous!
