Read MoreHow do humans use the coast?
Published 19/03/26This week, Year 4 have been busy practising their lines for their production next week, and they are doing really well! The children have shown great enthusiasm and commitment as they rehearse, and it’s fantastic to see their confidence growing.
Please continue to support them in practising at home, as this will really help them feel prepared and ready to shine. We can’t wait to show everyone their hard work and talent in next week’s performance!
Read MoreWhat did we learn about coastal erosion?
Published 12/03/26It has been an action-packed week of learning in Year 4! In Geography, we dove into the powerful forces of coastal erosion, discovering how our changing tides shape the land. The children took their learning a step further by stepping into the shoes of ‘Coastal Environmental Officers.’ They used their persuasive skills to compassionately advise a resident living in a high-risk home on the cliffs, balancing safety concerns with empathy. Meanwhile, in Maths, we have been mastering the world of fractions. The students worked hard on comparing different fractions, using their knowledge of numerators and denominators to order them accurately. We are so proud of the critical thinking and problem-solving shown by everyone this week!
Read MoreWhat did you learn about the Easter Story?
Published 05/03/26This week, Year 4 had a fantastic time taking part in the Easter Experience. The children travelled back in time and were guided through the story of Jesus’ betrayal, his crucifixion, and his resurrection. The immersive activities really brought the story to life, and the children were highly engaged throughout. Some pupils even had the opportunity to take on ‘starring roles’ in the performance, which made the experience even more memorable.

We have begun looking at the Year 4 performance and can't wait to start practising after half term!

Read MoreWhat are the environmental dangers to the Great Barrier Reef?
Published 05/02/26This week Year 4 received a high-level transmission from the Department of Planetary Health. They called it Operation: Pulse and Respiration. We had 45 minutes to reconstruct the damage report and present a 'State of Emergency' broadcast to the Global Council. If we didn't, the funding for the restoration project was going to be cut. Ask us what we included in our report and what factors are affecting the Great Barrier Reef.
Read MoreHow can we change the pitch of sound?
Published 29/01/26This week, Year 4 have loved our Science experiment. They worked in groups using a range of musical instruments to explore pitch. They predicted which sounds would be high and which would be low, then tested their ideas by playing the instruments and listening carefully to the notes. This helped them understand how different instruments can produce high and low sounds.

Read MoreWhat does sound travel best through?
Published 15/01/26This week in Science, we have been investigating sound to determine which material sound travels best through. We tested how sound travels through solids, liquids and gases.
