Year 4 have been learning our @Talk4Writing model text ‘The Magician’s Shop’ using actions and a story map. Here’s a short clip of us in action; positively spellbinding ✨✨✨✨

Well done to all of our children for demonstrating positive behaviour this week; a sweet reward 🍪🍪We are incredibly proud of you all—keep up the amazing work and continue setting such a fantastic example across the school!

Year 4 have had an incredible start to the new term this week! Congratulations to our Stars of the Week, Dojo Point Champion and Platinum Award 🙌🙌👏👏🌟🏆💿🤩🤩

In Maths today, Year 4 learned that area is the amount of space inside a closed 2D shape. We then used post-it notes to create different rectilinear shapes with the same area.

Year 4 started our new @Talk4Writing unit today with our ‘hook’ lesson where we uncovered various items linked to our new text and tried to guess what it is about. Do you know what it could be…???⚓️⚓️⚓️

Our last Science Club of the term ended with a bang today as we made elephant toothpaste! Watch the yeast mixture react with the peroxide mixture to cause an exothermic reaction creating heat and foam that oozed out of the bottle like toothpaste…🐘🐘🐘🧪🧪🧪

Year 4 are working their way through our printing unit in Art, moving from basic geometric patterns to exploring a variety of textures and layering different shapes and tones. Check out our amazing creations 🧑‍🎨👩‍🎨🎨🎨

Congratulations to this week’s Green Behaviour winners who had great fun out of class for their well deserved hit chocolate treat! It’s good to be green 💚💚💚👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌

Our Science Club created fireworks on a plate today using milk, food coloring, and a drop of dish soap! Soap molecules race around to bond with the fat droplets in milk, pushing the food coloring away, creating awesome, explosive bursts! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬🧪🎇🎆

🏑Our fantastic Year 4 pupils had a brilliant time at the Quick Sticks hockey festival today @NTCouncilTeam The Parks in North Shields! Huge thanks to @NorthTynesidePE for hosting such a fun, active, and well-organised event. 🏑🏑🏑🌟👏

Our amazing Year 4 gymnasts designed and performed their very own custom routines this week. They showed fantastic teamwork, balance, and physical control, well done 👏👏🙌🙌🤸‍♀️🤸

It was time for Year 4 to observe and record the results of our tooth decay experiment this week. Our prediction that the vinegar would cause the most damage to tooth enamel because of the acid was correct. 🦷🦷👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Year 4 had an amazing trip to the @GNM_Hancock . The children brought their history lessons to life by examining real Ancient Greek artefacts, before blasting off in the Planetarium to explore the solar system. As always, we were fantastic school ambassadors 🏛️🪐💫✨

Year 4 explored the work of Paul Klee in Art today and used shapes and colours to create repeated marks and patterns 🎨🎨👩‍🎨🧑‍🎨🟥🟥🔹🔹🟢🟢🟨🟧🟨🟧

Egg-citing Science in a year 4 today! We carried out a fair to investigate how different drinks affect tooth enamel—using eggs as a model because eggshells are packed with calcium just like our teeth! We we will record our observations over time 🦷🦷👩‍🔬👨‍🔬⏱️⏱️

Year 4 mastered saying their multiples of 10 all the way to 100 in French! Their pronunciation was absolutely fantastic. Très bien, Year 4! 👏👏👏🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Year 4 turned dental detectives in Science this week, examining their teeth, spotting: incisors at the front for biting and cutting , canines for ripping and tearing and molars and premolars at the back for crushing and grinding 🦷🦷Bringing learning to life !

We took our learning outside in Science Club to test the famous Coke and Mentos reaction. By dropping Mentos into bottles of Diet Coke, we triggered rapid nucleation—where the rough surface of the mints forces the dissolved carbon dioxide gas out of the liquid all at once 🧨🧨💥
