Superstars
On Tuesday, 7th February, Year 4 attended the 'Superstars' event to complete with other Year 4 children from nearby schools in a range of PE activities. We had a fantastic afternoon taking part in scooter relay, cup stacking, javelin throwing and much more. We are really proud of how the children conducted themselves whilst there, listening carefully to the adults, cheering each other on and working well as a team. We placed 4th overall and were so pleased with everyone's individual effort, well done Year 4!
Roman Bowls
In the last week of the autumn term, the children used their creative skills to design, create and decorate their own Roman bowls. The children used papier mache to create their bowl and then decorated with paint before adding a Roman inspired design using felt tip pens.
Colchester Castle Visit
On 22nd November, Year 4 enjoyed a visit to Colchester Castle as part of their Roman topic. During the day, the children explored the museum seeking answers to questions about Roman artefacts. They had a guided tour of the vaults and an explanation of their relevance during Boudicca’s attack of Colchester. Working in groups, the children constructed a Roman Villa and a Celtic Round house. They all thoroughly enjoyed their day. The children demonstrated exemplary behaviour and a fabulous attitude towards their learning by making links to their in-class learning.
Roman Oil Lamps
In Year 4 we used our clay skills to create our own replica Roman oil lamps.
4W Forest School Sessions
4W enjoyed the autumnal sunshine during their Forest Schools sessions. The pupils were keen to explore the new equipment.
4O Forest School.
This year 4O enjoyed being the first junior class to explore the newly developed Forest School area.
