For homework in Year 4, the children were asked to read part of a story and send in a video as part of National Story Telling Week. These are now available on the Year 4 Teams page.
National Story Telling Week
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust 30.1.23
This week is National Story Telling week. Duing our session today we completed some activities linked to this. First, we created our own story sticks by going on a walk around the school grounds and collected things to attach to our story stick. Next we listened to the sounds around us and created our own sound story maps using symbols to represent the noises we heard.
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust 23/1/23
This week, we used the forest school to get in touch with out senses. First, we used a senses hands to find items that felt tickly, rough etc. Then we sat quietly and listened to all the sounds around us. Next, we created our own badger scents by collecting different items around us and mixing them up. Again, great fun!
Warwick Wildlife Trust 16.1.22
Today, Year 4 looked at the art work of Andy Goldsworth and used things from around forest school to get creative and create their own art work. Then, they created their a textured caterpillar. Very cold but great fun!
Year 4 Warwickshire Wildlife Trust
Over the next half term, Year 4 will be working with Katy from the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. Today we learnt about birds. We used binoculars to search for birds around the school grounds, we then used natural resources around us to make ground nests for our fluffy bird friends. Finally, we made bird feeders from cheerios. All the children had a wonderful time and learnt lots!
Year 4 Dodgeball
On December 14th, a selection of Year 4 children were taken to the Xcel Centre to take part in a Coventry School Games DEVELOP dodgeball event. The event focused on a set of values (Respect, Honesty and Teamwork) rather than just winning in the usual sense of the game.
All children played their best and were great representatives of the school and of the aforementioned values. The team came in 5th position out of 11 schools. Well done!

Children In Need 18.11.22
In 4GW, we did some work relating to our maths topic of perimeters. The children worked out the perimeters of various sizes of Pudsey. They then coloured them in and did some of the live ‘mood booster session’.
Warwick Castle 17.11.22
The children in year 4 had a lovely time at Warwick Castle on Thursday 17th November. Despite a very wet start to the day, it was pleasantly dry for the duration of their trip. They enjoyed walking the castle grounds; seeing and naming various parts of a castle, they watched a birds of prey display and climbed some very tall towers with numerous steps! The children visited the Great Hall and had a snoop around the beautiful rooms within the stately home. As a treat, the children were put in ‘gaol’ to experience what it may have been like to have been kept in such cramped and unpleasant conditions.
Remembrance Day 11.11.22
Year 4 used oil pastels to draw out and colour poppy quarters. Once these were complete, we put four of the quarters together to create a whole poppy. The children worked really hard on these and made a beautiful, eye-catching display.
