The Grove Primary School

What a deliciously delightful term it has been in Year 4! With chocolate as our exciting theme, the children have thrown themselves into every challenge with creativity, curiosity, and heaps of enthusiasm.

We have had a real treat in English this term! The children explored the whimsical world of nonsense poetry, crafting their own poems filled with made-up words, clever rhymes, and endless imagination. Inspired by the idea of a chocolate-themed world, they then invented their very own fantastical chocolate lands, complete with gooey rivers, candy clouds, and towering fudge mountains. To top it off, they learned the art of persuasion by creating colourful, persuasive leaflets that would give Willy Wonka a run for his money!

In Design and Technology, the classroom transformed into a mini bake-off tent. The children followed recipes, measured ingredients, and baked their own cakes – the results were as tasty as they were impressive! They then shifted gears and became packaging designers, creating eye-catching cake boxes to match their scrumptious creations. Their attention to detail and flair for design was brilliant to see.

In Science, we moved from sweet treats to serious science by investigating the water cycle. Through experiments, discussions, and observation, the children developed a solid understanding of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. As budding meteorologists, they even made their own rain catchers to track rainfall – a great hands- on way to bring learning to life.

We are so proud of the hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm Year 4 has shown this term. They have risen to every challenge, supported one another, and had lots of fun along the way. It has been a joy to see their confidence and skills grow.

Finally, enjoy the break and we look forward to seeing you after your well-deserved break!
