  • How did you make your biscuits?

    Published 23/10/25

    This week, Year 4 have been busy and brilliant! We’ve been learning all about the Romans, and the children have written some fantastic sentences, including diary entries from the point of view of a Roman soldier. They used their imaginations to describe what life might have been like in the Roman army, and their writing was full of interesting facts and feelings.

    In Maths, we’ve been exploring perimeter, and the children have been counting carefully and calculating lengths with growing confidence. It was tricky at first, but they kept practising and made great progress!

    During our DT Day, everyone had a wonderful time designing and baking their own biscuits — they looked amazing and smelled even better because of all the effort the children put in. We’re now really looking forward to our exciting trip to the Natural History Museum after half term, but please remember that everyone will need to bring a packed lunch for the day.

    There's no peek of the week today, enjoy the half term. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday 3rd November.
