Otter Class Y4
Welcome to the Summer Term in Otter Class!
We were very proud to be able to perform our Djembe drumming sequences to our parents and the Year 3 children. We've worked really hard this term to learn this.
What a fantastic day we had at Frogmary Green Farm in the sunshine, hunting caterpillars and creating animal habitats. Check out our victory dances below too!
Victorious boys
The girls can dance too...
We've been learning about different forms of poetry like Haikus and Tankas. These are a few of the fantastic Tankas we've composed...

Our awesome Year 4 team at the annual Cross Country
What a wonderful time we had celebrating the Royal Wedding. Having made our wedding corsages, we had a Year 4 sports afternoon then arrived on time for the wedding ceremony. We finished the afternoon with a wedding tea on the field in the sunshine.
We are learning about teeth and decided to investigate whether healthy food could give us tooth decay. It was a messy job, but someone had to do it. We concluded that healthy food is great as long as you clean your teeth afterwards.
We were very excited to have been visited by people from North Petherton's twin town of Ceauce in Normandy. We sang them a French song, asked them lots of questions and found out so many interesting things about life in France.
We were very lucky to be visited by storytellers who shared the story of Mrs Noah's Pockets with us. Afterwards, we debated whether Mrs Noah was right to take mythical creatures onto the ark without telling Mr Noah.
We had a team challenge to make a set of teeth. It was messy, but fun. Which do you think won?
We've put together a video to explain the difference processes in the digestive system.
We've been investigating Jackson Pollock's art by trying out some of his painting techniques ourselves.

Summer Term Newsletter
Year 4 Sports Festival and obstacle course.
We have been learning about the story of Easter and made symbols that represent Christianity
To complete our Sound topic in Science, we made cup and string telephones that were very effective. We then played instruments to understand how pitch can be changed. What a lot of noise we created!
World Book Day Costumes. What a lot of effort was put into making them look fabulous!
These were our Year 4 winners, Fergus, Summer, Latisha and Ethan. Don't they look great?
It doesn't matter where we are, we still love reading...
We've been having a very scientific time in Otter Class recently. We now know lots about solids, liquids and gases and how sound travels. Take a look...
Welcome to the Spring Term
in Otter Class! 
Our trip to Caerleon was a fantastic opportunity to see, first hand, some of the many things we have been learning about this term in our Roman topic. It was a cold but sunny day and we all had a great time.
Year 4 opened their Roman Museum to proudly display all the hard work and creativity they have put into their homework projects.
We've been learning about Roman Numerals and had a go at making our own today.
We are creating our own Roman stories about escaping Pompeii after Vesuvius's eruption. First we used drama to help us to imagine what it might have been like to flee the city.
We were very lucky to have had a very special visit by Roman Governor Agricola. He and the Romans are here to sort us all out!
We've been writing, publishing and performing our own poetry. What a lot of creativity and hard work went into it all!

Autumn Term 2017
We have had an exciting term, finding out what life would have been like for Children in Victorian Britain, finding out about some of the greatest inventions of the past 200 years and even inventing some of our own!
In Science, we have been learning about electricity and the importance of safety with electrical appliances. Take a look at our safety videos.
Never use electrical appliances near water!
Don't put anything, other than a plug, in a socket!
Don't put metal objects in appliances like keyboards!
Don't fly kits near power lines and, if your kite gets caught, never never try to retrieve it yourself!
We have been learning the story of the Good Samaritan and the importance of helping those in need.
Collaboration may not move mountains, but it certainly helps us move benches!
As part of our Anti-Bullying Week, we all came to school in odd socks to celebrate our differences. We also worked as a team to run a collective 30 miles for Children in Need, supporting and encouraging each other equally!
We have been working in teams to build Victorian and modern shoebox rooms so that we can see how home life has changed over time.
The children have worked really hard to produce well researched and presented projects about the Victorians. Well done all of you!
What an amazing day we had at Cold Harbour Mill, finding out about how the wool is made and taking our job applications to Mr Robson, the mill foreman. He was a little scary but we learnt so much from him about what working in the mill would have been like.
We were visited by Charlotte’s family of tortoises this week. We really enjoyed holding them and finding out more about how they live and grow. Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Philpots, for bringing them in.
We learnt about negative numbers by racing each other to get positive and negative numbers in the correct order. Congratulations boys, you were very fast!
We enjoyed sharing books with our buddy Class, Badger.
Today we have been experiencing with school might have been like in Victorian times...
We've been having fun creating our Roman God learning team names using our bodies. See if you can guess which one this is...

Do you know which one this is?
