Year 4

26.09.25



Year 4 have had a very busy week with it being assessment week. We are incredibly proud of their efforts and resilience – they worked so hard, and we can’t wait to see their progress over time!

In Humanities, the children travelled back in time to explore the story of the River Nene. They found it fascinating to learn about a river so close to home and enjoyed making connections to their local area.

In Science, our focus on sound continued. The children learnt about the different parts of the ear and how each one works together to help us hear. A real highlight was creating 3D models of the ear out of playdough and carefully labelling each part – a fantastic mix of creativity and science in action!

Well done, Year 4, for another brilliant week of learning!

This week has been a busy and exciting one for the children!

In Maths, we have started our first unit on place value, with a particular focus on partitioning 4-digit numbers. The children have been practising breaking numbers down and have shown great enthusiasm in applying their skills.

In English, the children have been continuing their consolidation unit, developing their descriptive writing skills. They have been working hard to bring their ideas to life using rich vocabulary and detail.

In Humanities, we began our new topic on how rivers shape civilisations. The children explored the importance of rivers and enjoyed labelling some of the key rivers in the United Kingdom.

In Reading, the class have started reading How to Train Your Dragon. They are already thoroughly enjoying the story and engaging with its adventurous themes.

In Science, the children continued their exploration of sound. A highlight of the week was conducting an experiment to make telephones using different types of string. This hands-on activity helped them understand how sound travels through different mediums to reach our ears—an experiment they absolutely loved!

Great work Year 4!
