Outdoor Learning

Linked to our Industrial Revolution topic, we explored the work of Lowry in our EKO session this week. Children made their own matchstick figures using twigs, wool, wire and scraps of fabric. They also found logs to represent factories with huge chimneys. Our next EKO day will be on Wednesday 4th February 2026.

Snow Day Activities

Good morning Year 4,

Happy snow day! If you haven’t already, head over to Google Classroom where you will find today’s home learning activities.

You can do your work on paper, in your homework book or send photos to the Year 4 email address (newdale.year4team@taw.org.uk). Make some time to get outside and enjoy the snow too – we’d love to see your snowmen and pictures of your snow day fun!

 

 

Molineux Trip

Last month, Year 4 visited the Molineux Stadium to learn more about how to write match reports. We found out about post-match interviews, met the Wolves Foundation’s Head of Communications and sat in the Stan Cullis stand to have a look at the pitch.

Year 4 Langar Experience

In DT this week, Year 4 practised using claw and bridge cutting techniques to prepare a colourful variety of vegetables for their own delicious, healthy curry! We then created our own Langar experience to share the food in class. This links to our learning about Sikhism in RE.  

Year 4 French Storytelling Trip

On Friday morning, Year 4 visited Redhill Primary to take part in a French Storytelling workshop. They joined in with telling and acting Goldilocks and The Three Little Pigs, learning lots of new French vocabulary.

Year 4 Ancient Egypt Day

Year 4 had a fantastic day learning about Ancient Egypt today. We played traditional games, learnt how to write our names in hieroglyphs using reed pens and found out how to mummify bodies! We also took a trip down the Nile and visited tombs using VR headsets.  VR headset session

Art Day

This year’s Art Day will be held on Wednesday 11th June. Children will be taking part in a variety of creative activities inspired by the poems, rhymes, songs and stories they learn off by heart. Their shared masterpieces will feature a heart and be displayed around school later this term. Children (and staff) can wear dress-down/arty clothes or may even like to wear something featuring a heart! If your child usually has PE on Wednesdays, please ensure that their clothes and shoes are suitable for sports activities too.

Art Day

This year’s Art Day will be held on Friday 12th July. Children are once again being invited to “dress to express” in their most creative costumes but please bear in mind that there may be some messy activities! We will be working in house groups to create some fantastic pieces of art using recycled objects and your child’s teacher will let you know if they need donations of particular materials for their activities. In addition to this, we need lots (and lots!) of Tetrapak or Pure-Pak cartons for a very exciting printing project with Ironbridge Fine Arts. These cartons often contain fruit juice, oat or almond milk, coconut water, toddler formula etc. We would be very grateful for any clean, dry cartons that you can send into school. Thank you for your support.
