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 got to use a pair of tights to show how the intestine works. It was disgusting as you can see!
In maths we read the story ‘Oliver and the Seawigs’ which was very fun and silly. During the half term we wrote stories about Oliver and his parents escaping from a dangerous tomb. In the middle of the book, we met the main enemy who has kidnaped Oliver’s parents. Based on this we wrote our own set of instruction on how to train a dreadful army of sea monkeys.
Finally, we started playing ukulele! 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!
