Joe Wicks Workout for Mental Health Week

This week, Mrs Everall’s class joined thousands of other children around the UK for a live workout with Joe Wicks as part of Mental Health Week. We completed a variety of exercises, including jumping jacks and squats, for 40 seconds each with a 10-second break to recover between each set. If you fancy having a go at home, here’s a link to the recording.

Patternborough!

To mark Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, Year 4 did some “Patternborough” drawings of animal prints this week. They chose from 9 different patterns and experimented with different pencil grades to see which worked best.

MTC info for parents

As you know, Year 4 children across the country will be completing their Multiplication Table Check in early June. We have been practising our times table facts every day in school so that the children feel well prepared. Extra practice at home will also be of great benefit over the next few weeks. Find out more about the MTC.

Change to PE Days

We hope you and your family enjoyed a lovely Easter break. Year 4 have another busy half term ahead of us with lots of exciting activities planned including EKO days, creating (very messy!) digestive systems, using VR headsets and a special Anglo-Saxon history day. PE lessons will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the Summer term. Please remember to send your child with a water bottle every day. See you back in class on Monday 13th April!

Outdoor Learning – January

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
