Library Visit

Both classes visited the Droylsden Library on Tuesday 29^th April 2025. The Librarian, Joy, talked to us about how the library worked and all the services that they offered. We were then allowed to look at the hundreds of books available to read and some of us even borrowed a book from the library. We had a great time and all the children now want to visit the library regularly!

Music - Ukulele

4DW have begun their ukulele lessons this Spring and they really enjoyed having the opportunity to play a new instrument. Some of us are starting to find it tricky as we are now learning to press our fingers on the fret board to create chords! Other than that, we can sing and play beautifully in time with the music we’ve been listening to in class.

Enrichment Experience

Year 4 had a truly wonderful day, firstly going to the cinema to watch 'IF' and then over to Bella Italia for a three-course meal. The children represented the school with pride and thoroughly enjoyed their experience.

History - Ancient Egypt

We had a great time at the Manchester Museum and learned so much about our current topic - Ancient Egypt. We became historians and had to decide how important some real, Egyptian Artefacts. We even saw a real, mummified person!

World Maths Day

As part of World Maths Day, we have had a go at measuring our height with a 25cm counting stick in each pair. We enjoyed the activity and also used our converting skills to convert our height in cm to m with 2 decimal places. We then checked our accuracy by having measured against a tape measurer on the wall.

Art - Stone Age

Year 4s have been working with Miss Chesney exploring Stone Age art. They used their observational drawing skills to sketch the stone age images into their books, and they also had a go at recreating stone age cave paintings by painting on cardboard with white paint that has been layered to represent the rough wall texture as we would see in the stone age.

Art - Ancient Egypt

As our current topic is Ancient Egypt, we had a go in class at using different cross-hatching skills and adjusting our tone of colour in order to draw and accurately recreate the artefacts vividly into our sketchbooks.
