Autumn 1
This Autumn we spent the time learning all about the Romans! Learning about the reasons why they invaded Britain and how Queen Boudicca fought back. As part of this topic, we got to visit the London Mithraeum, an underground temple dedicated to the Roman god Mithras who killed a cosmic bull to create the world, according to legend.
In science we got to learn all about the digestive system. Not only did we get to squeeze a bag full of orange juice and crackers to simulate the muscle and acid in the stomach we also explored what happens to our teeth when we drink too much sugar. It was disgusting but very enjoyable.
In English we read the story ‘Oliver and the Seawigs’ which was very fun and silly. Based on this we wrote our own set of instructions on how to train a dreadful army of sea monkeys and practised writing diaries as an explorer. We also took lots of opportunities to explore the book through drama, retelling our favourite scenes at the end of the topic.
In art we have been looking at Roman mosaics. The children particularly enjoyed the seashell at Verulamium and Alexander the great mosaic found in Pompeii. The children then created their own mosaics inspired by the nature and shapes often seen in Roman Mosaics. We then took what we had learned and created mosaics of our class champion Bob Marley as part of Black History Month.
Finally, we started playing the ukulele! We are learning how to play the C chord, and we are signing the song ‘Three Little Birds’ by Bob Marley, our class champion!

Year 4 Class Music Lessons
In Year 4, the whole class takes part in weekly music lessons, learning to play an instrument together. These are taught by a specialist music teacher from the Haringey Music Team and it means that by the of the year, every child in the class will have had the opportunity to learn to read music.
We hope that through these group lessons we can nuture an interest, passion or talent for music in our children and give them the opportunity to perform for infront of families building their confidence.
This year our Year 4s are learning the ukulele!
