Year Four had a great time visiting Jarrow Monastery this morning. We met our pen pals from St Oswalds and teamed up to investigate the ruins. We used a heritage map to explore the remains of the old Anglo Saxon hall, cemetery and refectory. .

As part of Unit 4, year 4 enjoyed playing charades and lotto to learn about animals in French.

Year 4 had fun composing their own rhythm , using patterns of long and short sounds. In groups, the children created a 16 beat rhythm of their own.  The children then performed their rhythms!

Yesterday afternoon, Year Four used their knowledge of warm and cool colours to create paintings of an interesting object from home. We made sure to use warm colours in the foreground and cool colours in the background to create an illusion of depth

Year Four conducted an investigation into the Anglo Saxon burial site, Sutton Hoo. They used the Chromebooks to research and create their own presentations which they will present to the class next week. Well done Year Four!

This afternoon, Year Four had a very special visit from Revd Andrew from Jarrow and Simonside Parish. He spoke to us about the Bible, some of its parables and why it is such an important part of a Christian’s life. Year Four applied their Oracy skills by listening carefully and digging deeper through questioning.

This morning, Year 4 visited the polling station to vote for their new school councillors. Good luck to all of our candidates!

On Friday afternoon, Year Four explored food chains and food webs. They identified producers and primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers. They discussed how a food web shows how living things in an ecosystem are interdependent. They even created their very own food chains and webs from their research of ecosystems. Well done Y4!
