Year 4

Pantomime - 'A Funny Thing Happened on The Way To Camelot'

We have been rehearsing weekly to make sure the show runs smoothly. The hall is filled with music and laughter as we learn our lines, practice our funny dance moves, and try out our songs. We are learning how to speak loudly on stage and work together as a big team.

Everyone has a special part to play. We have brave knights, silly monsters, and lots of other fun characters. It takes a lot of hard work to get ready for a big show, but the children are doing an amazing job and having lots of fun.

Design and Technology 

During DT, Year 4 have been creating their own torches out of recycled materials. During this time, they explored  a range of different types of torches, learnt how to make their own switch, focused on different joining techniques and also how to connect a circuit to make their torch light up. 

A visit from Steven Camden

During March, Year 4 were luckily enough to experience a workshop with Steven Camden, who is an author who grew up in Smethwick. The children were able to experience how Steven creates a plan when coming up with ideas for a new story. The children were then able to experience this for themselves when given the opportunity to plan a fiction story based on their local area.

British Science Week 

During British Science Week, our amazing Year 4 scientists explored the backbones in the human body. We looked closely at backbones to see how they help us stand tall and move. Then, we built our own shapes using different sizes and designs to test how strong they were. We had so much fun testing their strength to see which shapes could hold the most weight without breaking. Everyone did a fantastic job working as a team and thinking like real scientists to discover how backbones work.
