Year 4

Trinity High School Athletics

Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful morning at Trinity High School to take part in some sports hall athletics. There were a range of activites involving skills such as balancing, throwing, jumping and running. These were all lead by the fantastic sports leaders from Birchensale Middle School and Trinity High School. Our children were not only in competition with each other but with children from some of the other local first schools. All of year 4 showed excellent perseverance and enjoyed the challenges they were presented with. We are looking forward to finding out the results.

Condover

The children in year 4 have done their residential at Condover Hall. They took part in a range of activities, including: aerial trek, trapeze, raft building and archery tag. The class really challenged themselves, and built confidence and personal qualities through the activities and staying overnight. We are so proud of their perseverance and resilience!

Stemworks

Year 4 had a wonderful afternoon welcoming Sarah from Worcester STEMworks who challenged the children as engineers to create a mechanism that could move a pre-built bridge into place. Using K'nex, the class had to ensure they showed teamwork, used a moving part and could explain their design. All the children impressed us with their unique ideas, and the winners of the golden tickets will be representing us at the finals!

Art

In year 4, we have been inspired by the artist JMW Turner in our art lessons. Today we admired and sketched the beautiful view we have from school and then added watercolour paints to our landscape portraits back in the classroom. We learnt that Turner often liked to experience the landscape he was creating (once tying himself to a boat sail so he could feel the waves and water!) We also definitely experienced the icy wind blowing at us, but it was well worth it to see the amazing art created as a result!

Yoga

In year 4 we have been learning yoga during one of our PE sessions. This has been a great way to improve our flexibility and our reflection skills. We have been enjoying challenging ourselves with a range of new positions and working alongside our peers to improve these.

Sports Hall Athletics

Year 4 were invited to a Sportshall athletics event which was organised by Birchensale Middle School and hosted at Trinity High School. The class were able to participate in a range of indoor athletic events which challenged a range of their skills including throwing, running and jumping. It was great to witness their team spirit by cheering each other on and to see them challenging themselves.

Letter from Diocese

We are thrilled to receive a letter (and an upcoming visit) from the Director of education for our Worcestershire Diocese, Tim Reid, in response to Year 4’s letters that they sent to him last week.

They practised their formal letter writing skills by writing to thank the Diocese for paying for the summer building work in refurbishing our new year 4 classroom.
Well done year 4!
