YEAR 4 (BEECH)
In this class, the children are full of enthusiasm and curiosity, which they put to good use in all areas of the curriculum. We enjoy learning with partners and groups as well as working hard independently too.
Over the year, we work on developing our English and Maths skills in particular as well as investigating and learning about the wider world.
These Year 4 children are amazing! They work so hard enjoy looking at our work photographs.

Year 4 Updates
Year 4 have been busy developing their Scratch coding skills recently. the children have been very good at helping each other. Also, they very much enjoyed baking biscuits and adding an ingredient, chocolate chip cookies were very popular, during their DT day. They then had to design their packaging after looking at and discussing current biscuit packaging, they all did an amazing and professional job.
We have just started our new Science topic of 'Electricity' and the class had a great session creating working circuits to make the bulb light up, which they all managed to do.

Year 4 have been busy in all areas of the curriculum. During the Science topic of Sound the Year 4 children worked together to set up an experiment to work out which material was best for soundproofing. They also made string telephones to investigate sound travelling.
For the unit on Biscuits in D.T., the children got to taste and evaluate different biscuits. They had to discuss the texture, the look as well as the taste of the biscuit. Also, who are the consumers of the biscuits.
Participating in a skateboarding session was nerve wracking at first but great fun. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills as you can tell!

Art Week 2023
The children made some wonderful art during Art Week which was displayed at our Art Exhibition in June.
HINDU LESSON
Beech class welcomed a visitor to further their learning of the Hindu religion in November. Alison from the Hindu Temple in Watford visited with many artefacts for the children to learn about. She explained about different festivals and how they are celebrated and some of the children were given the opportunity to dress up as gods and goddesses. After answering the children’s, Alison kindly gave the class a book about the Hindu religion.
