Another busy half term has whizzed by in Year 4! Here are some of our Autumn 2 highlights:

As designers, we have been learning how to sew and have created our very own Christmas decorations using felt, bows and bells! We have spent time exploring a range of examples before moving on to developing some beautiful designs of our own! We have practised a variety of stitches with our needles and threads and created a finished result that we are proud of! We hope you can enjoy hanging them around your house during the holidays!

In RE, we have continued to explore the religion of Hinduism. We loved learning about the different Gods, and what each one represents to Hindus. We also spent time learning about the similarities and differences between Hinduism and Christianity. More recently, we have enjoyed learning about Christingles, and why they are used by Christians to celebrate Jesus as the light of the world. We greatly enjoyed making our own Christingles in class, and taking these home to share with our families. We were also lucky enough to take a trip to St. Barnabas, where we were welcomed by Reverend Matt, and were able to learn more about Christingles and sing our Christingle songs! Thank you to all those who were able to join us on the day.

As scientists, we have been learning about ‘Living Things and their Habitats.’ We have enjoyed learning how food chains work, and how they are different depending on the habitat, due to the animals and plants which are found within that environment. We have also learnt about endangered animals, and reflected upon how we can help them so that they do not become extinct. We wrote letters to Prime Minister Starmer with our suggestions about how to help an endangered type of elephant.

Next half term, we are looking forward to beginning our learning on ‘Electricity’ in Science, and our Geography and History topic on ‘Ancient Egypt.’ We will also begin work on the religion of Sikhism in RE and are very excited to start our swimming lessons in PE.

Wishing you all a lovely holiday. See you in 2026!

PE days for year 4 will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
