We love to carry out practical work in science. Here is our latest work on sound; exploring pitch with instruments and creating our own pan pipes!
As part of our topic on The Romans, Y4 created Roman coin purses using their sewing skills to good effect. Well done Year 4!
Nissan recently visited Year 4 to deliver a ‘Lesson in a box’. As part of the session, the children were introduced to Japanese culture and how that feeds in to life at Nissan. The staff from Nissan left a project for the children to complete which will help them learn more about Japanese culture. We can’t wait to get started! 
You can listen to the songs from the Upper Key Stage 2 Christmas Show of “Cinderella & Rockerfella”
Year 4 carried out an excellent sound investigation. They used materials to learn all about vibrations and why they are essential for us to hear.
Year 4 had a wonderful walk this morning in the beautiful autumn sunshine. First of all, we walked to Souter Lighthouse where the kind staff had set up some fun games for us to play. We all loved archery!
After that we continued to walk along the coastal path to Jackie’s Beach before heading back to school. Thanks for all of your support!
Y4 had a wonderful visit to Arbeia Roman Fort. The staff gave us a fantastic tour of the ruins before we completed a ‘handling workshop’ where we looked at objects that were nearly 2000 years old!
In the workshop we were taught how archaeologists act as detectives to find out more about the objects they have found and what they can tell us about the past.
We really enjoyed looking the reconstructed buildings to see what life was like at the fort for the soldiers who lived there.
A great time had by all!
Congratulations to the children in Year 4 who achieved 100% attendance this year. A fantastic achievement!
We were also delighted to present 3 children with special awards:
Sophie – positive behaviour
Isla – progress
Cory – pride and presentation
We are so proud of all the children in Year 4 this year. They have worked so hard and remained positive in another testing year. Well done everyone! 
This week at Beach School, Year 4 showed off their creative skills by completing some wonderful artwork and designing a new beach game.
