This morning we went outside to find some leaves and let them dry out.

This afternoon we have created our very own leaf pictures.

They look amazing!

This week it has been ‘barvember’ so as well as our normal Maths lessons we have done more bar models. We have found some of them quite tricky especially the word problems because we have had to read the questions carefully in order to understand how to work out the answers.

Here is some of our work.

In PE this half term we are looking at the topic Dance. We are linking this to our topic, we did stretches to warm up and then completed some Roman dancing and marching.

We had great fun and learnt lots too.

At home Amira has been busy making a Roman Shield, isn’t it fantastic? Well done.

We have been extremely busy so far in year 4, here are some examples of our topic work.

We have completed a timeline of events, learning about the key events that have taken place to help shape history, found out about Roman soldiers and Roman gladiators and written a set of instructions if how to become a Roman gladiator. In maths we have been learning our Roman numerals so have created a Roman sun dial.

This afternoon in class 4 we have been preparing the next pages in our topic books. First we are painting our colosseums and then we are going to add lots of information following our learning all about Roman Gladiators.

As we draw to the end of the school year, we have been reflecting on all that we have achieved. Please take a look at all of the amazing learning that has taken place in year 4, both in school and at home!

Thank you Year 4 for a fabulous year that we will never forget! You are all amazing!

Year 4 have found out about the Swedish Christmas festival ‘Saint Lucia’ Here they are to tell you all about it.

Lots of Friday afternoon fun in the forest this term. From creating tree faces, making magic wands & potions, to building dens and enjoying toasted marshmallows & hot chocolate around the fire, we thoroughly enjoyed our forest school learning.

What a wonderful day we had playing with world renowned Halle orchestra at the Bridgewater hall in Manchester.

We sang with an astronaut, danced with an alien and even met Superman.

Year 4 and 5 went to Crewe Lyceum to perform as part of Singfest. Marlfields were even lucky enough to be invited to stay in the afternoon to play with Congleton Orchestra in which we had such a brilliant time.  Thank you to Love Music Trust for inviting us. More pictures to follow.
