Year 4 have had a busy and creative start to their learning this term!

In Art, the children have begun exploring perspective drawing. They have been learning how artists create the illusion of depth by using a horizon line, a vanishing point, and lines of perspective. Pupils have started to identify and apply these skills in their artwork, thinking carefully about how objects appear smaller as they move further away.

In English, we have started reading The Boy at the Back of the Class. The children have already shown empathy and curiosity as they engage with the story, sharing thoughtful ideas and questions about the characters and themes.

During our French lessons, we have been practising listening and responding to simple instructions. Year 4 enjoyed playing a game of French Snap, using phrases such as regarde (look) and écoute (listen) helping them build confidence in understanding spoken French. These are now used regularly in class to support listening skills and everyday routines.

In Science, we have begun our topic on States of Matter. The children are learning about solids, liquids, and gases, and exploring the processes of melting and solidification. We have planned an exciting practical investigation where pieces of chocolate will be placed in different areas of the classroom, such as on a windowsill and in a tray, to observe how temperature affects melting. We look forward to sharing our observations and findings at the end of the term.

Well done, Year 4, for your enthusiasm and focus across all subjects in the new year.
