Year 4 Classes
Our Year 4 classes are taught by Mrs Vallis, Mrs Spencer and Mrs Oldridge.
The two classes are called Sycamore and Willow.
During PPA each week, the children are taught by Mrs. Law and Mrs. Wild during specialist computing and art lessons in which they learn about, practice and apply different I.T. and artistic skills to complement in-class learning. The children also learn about e-safety.
Term 1 + 2: Inventors and Inventions
Over the course of the last two terms, we have thoroughly enjoyed our topic; Inventors and Inventions.
We started the year by researching some of the most well-known inventions that have changed the world and created a timeline to show our findings.
We then looked in detail at Thomas Edison and his invention of the lightbulb. We spent time in topic lessons researching all about him and then put our information into a biography. Check out some of them below!

As part of our home-learning, we set the children the task of researching another inventor of their choice. Lily chose to research William Kellogg- check our her PowerPoint.
In English, we have based our writing on the story 'The Invention of Hugo Cabret.'
We spent some time exploring the characters and then re-wrote a part of the story.
