Today Year 4 paid their respect in remembrance for Armistice Day. Following the art of the Romans the children created poppies in the style of a mosaic. We then laid our poppies down with our fallen soldier alongside Year 3. Shortly after Year 6 also came to pay their respect and read some poems they created at home.

Enterprise Week
We had a busy, fun filled week of selling cakes, squidgies, treasure hunts, plants and much more. Then we all helped to count the money we had raised and loved it as the total kept growing! We’d like to say a huge thank you to every single child or parent or teacher who sent money or bought from our enterprise. The total will be revealed soon then we can decide on how we all want to spend the money!

Writing Instructions
We have been using imperative verbs, chronological order, number points and bullet points to write instructions for a number of different reasons. Today we wrote instructions on how to make a jam sandwich. The children were amazing by how simple some instructions were but all enjoyed a tasty jam sandwich by the end.

Year 4 – A year of music
This year the children in year 4 have been given the opportunity to learn to play a variety of different instruments including clarinets, cornets, baritones and glockenspiels. The children have learnt a number of new skills which they were then able to show off alongside the Hallé Orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall. We have then finished the year with a bang by learning how drums can produce different tones by being played in different manners.
Year 4 – Design Technology – Alarms
After the shocking discovery that our classroom had been broken into and our items thrown all around the room. We then decided that the classroom needed an alarm system. We then spent some time researching the purpose of alarms, where, when and why they are used.
Today the children then took their plans for their own alarm system for the class and made a miniature version of the classroom. They used their knowledge of electricity from our science work to build circuits to trigger alarms when their classroom as an intruder.
They have worked so incredibly hard and as a class they have won a Good to be Green for the whole class. What fantastic work Year 4.
Lego Building
Today the children were given a great opportunity to see the power of Lego. Year 3 and Year 4 worked together to continue to build the Olympic village and stadiums that had been started previously from the rest of the classes.
A huge thank you to Stephen for coming in and helping us with our amazing creations.

Quidditch at Marlfields
Today at Marlfields we had our second Quidditch tournament. The children were amazing and all played their very best. The Mighty Marlfields spirit was certainly with us today.
The children then waited eagerly to find the results and who were the ultimate winners.
Well done to the Yellow team who scored the most points.
