Y4 had a blast learning how to partition flexibly! After a fun introduction, we rolled up our sleeves and got to practise on our own. Exploring numbers together was such an amazing experience, and we can't wait to dive deeper into our learning journey. Keep it up, Y4! 🎉💖

Good morning, families!

Our children are having a blast during playtime, and the OPAL project is really taking off! This week, we're on the hunt for any pushchairs, scooters, or even pots and pans that you might have lying around and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d be thrilled to give them a new life in our play sessions!

Check out some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime activities from last week!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You truly make our community awesome!

Many thanks

*  Y4 Value & Pride Award Winners *

Good afternoon families,

Please join us in congratulating our Y4 pride and value award winning pupils this week.

Y4 had a blast in art class! They got creative with bubble wrap printing, and the results were amazing! The kids loved the squishy texture and vibrant colors. 

Y4 had a blast drawing on tables to partition numbers! 🎨✏️ It’s amazing how a little creativity can make learning so much fun! Can't wait for our next session!

Dear families,

Our Year 4 students will be visiting the beautiful Shire Brook Valley Nature Reserve! Here are the dates for each class:

🌟 Y4 Peridot - 24th September

🌟 Y4 Turquoise - 6th November

🌟 Y4 Onyx - 12th November

The pupils will engage in the fantastic Young Rangers Discovery Program led by Discovery Outdoors. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to connect with their local environment and enhance their map skills—all while having fun outdoors!

Please make sure your children arrive promptly at school by 8:40 AM, as we'll be catching the 52 bus and taking a short walk to the nature reserve. We’ll be back in plenty of time for home time, so no need to worry!

A reminder that children will need to bring a packed lunch, as they’ll be enjoying their meal at the reserve. If your child usually receives a free school meal, don’t worry—a meal will be provided for them.

Let's prepare for a day filled with learning and fun! It's important that the children dress warmly and be ready for any wet weather—getting muddy is all part of the adventure!

While the trip will show up as free on Arbor, we are kindly requesting a contribution of £2.00 to cover the return bus fare. Please make any payments at the school office. Also, don’t forget that all parents must give consent via Arbor.

Thank you for your support, and we can’t wait for this fantastic adventure! 🌿

The Y4 team would like to invite Parents to a MEET THE TEACHERS BREAKFAST to give you the opportunity to share breakfast with your child and to chat with your child’s teachers.

When: Wednesday 8th October 2025

Location: Y4 Classrooms

Time: 8:40am-9:10am

We look forward to seeing you there!

Y4 had an amazing time in the library today, diving into books and losing ourselves in stories! Nothing beats the joy of reading for pleasure. Whether it was an action-packed adventure or a heartwarming tale, each page brought new excitement.

We encourage everyone to keep exploring new genres and finding those hidden gems that make reading so much fun! 

Happy reading, everyone!

Morning families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! 🎉 To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any pushchairs, scooters, and even pots and pans that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

And guess what? We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime activities last week! 📸
