In Science, we are investigating electricity. We will be looking at how electricity is formed, how circuits work and then making and testing our own circuits.

Listen To Me Lessons

On Thursday mornings we have Mrs Prest, a teacher from Hampshire Music Service, come in to teach us - over the year we will have learnt to play three different instruments!

This term we are learning to play the ukulele! We will be performing a concert to our parents on Thursday 17th July at 10 a.m. in the school hall. 

In Year 4 we focus on making sure we all know our Times Tables. Don't forget to log in regularly and complete a soundcheck game so that you can keep an eye on your progress and aim for the next certificate level!
