Yesterday, our Year 4s had a fantastic time making soup together! 🍲 Everyone got involved and worked on their chopping techniques. 😊 #FunLearning #Y4SoupDay

Today in class, we had fun quizzing each other on the facts from our reading text.

We shared facts and answered tricky questions. 🥳 It’s amazing how much we can learn together when we put our heads together!

Dear families!

Our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! To make it even better, we’re asking for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any old lego, small toys, soft toys, puzzles and games that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

We’ve got some fun snapshots of the kids enjoying their lunchtime on the last week!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support!

*  Y4 Value & Pride Award Winners *

Good morning families,

Please join us in congratulating our Y4 pride and value award winning pupils this week.

On Tuesday 22nd September we are taking part in World Car Free Day!

Please try to walk, cycle, scoot, use a wheelchair, or use public transport to come to school on this day.

Children who travel actively (walk, wheelchair, cycle, scoot) will receive a reward.

The class with the most children travelling actively will win reflectors.

If you need to drive, please park 5–10 minutes away from school and walk the rest of the journey.

For everyone's safety:

Do not park on yellow lines, zig-zag lines, or pavements.

Turn off your engine while waiting or parked.

Active travel helps children stay healthy, keeps the roads safer, and reduces air pollution.

We hope all families can support World Car Free Day on Tuesday 22 September 2026.

Many thanks for your support, !

Dear Families

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming OPAL Parent Event on **Tuesday, 22nd September**! Join us for an afternoon where you can discover the wonderful world of playtime and how important it is in our children’s lives.

We believe in giving our kids as many opportunities as possible to dive into different types of imaginative play. Please note all the timing and details for the event on the poster below

At the event, you’ll get the chance to engage with your child in a variety of open-ended play activities, and find out all about the OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) approach!

Exploring Lines of Latitude and Longitude in Geography!

Last week in PSHE Y4 dove into the Zones of Regulation to better understand our emotions. They also connected knowledge of lines of latitude and longitude in geography!

Our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! 🎉 To make it even better, we’re asking for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any old pots and pans, baking trays and sieves that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!
