Week 5 (6th October 2025)
This Week in Year 4
This week we had our Stay and Learn session — thank you to all the grown-ups who came along! We stepped back in time to World War II and thought about how different people might have felt during the evacuation — the worried mums waving goodbye, the nervous children on the trains, and the kind villagers waiting to welcome them.
We used a clip from The Railway Children Return to help us imagine the emotions and atmosphere of the time. Afterwards, we planned our own evacuee stories and created colourful storyboards, using fronted adverbials to show when things happened in our tales.
We can’t wait to keep developing our stories next week!
Week 4 (29th October 2025)
This week, Year 4 visited the Manx Aviation Museum as part of our World War II topic. We discovered all the amazing ways the Isle of Man helped with the war effort, from training pilots to protecting the skies.
One of the highlights was getting to hold real items from the war, which helped us imagine what life was like at the time. We asked lots of thoughtful questions and showed just how curious we are about history.
Our guide even praised us for our excellent behaviour – well done, Year 4!
Week 3 (WB 22nd September 2025)
In Science, we’ve been learning all about States of Matter. To test our ideas, we carried out an exciting experiment with ice cubes.
We put an ice cube into three different temperatures of water – cold, warm, and hot – to see which one would melt the quickest. We made predictions first, then carefully watched what happened.
The results were clear – the hotter the water, the faster the ice cube melted! It was a great way to see how temperature can change the state of matter from solid to liquid.
Year 4 had lots of fun being scientists and can’t wait for our next investigation!
Week 1 (WB 8th September 2025)
Step into the world of Year 4 with Mr. Molyneux – where every day is an adventure in learning, laughter, and creativity!
This year we’ll be diving into exciting topics, from the HISTORY OF MOVIES to LIFE IN WORLD WAR II, and exploring big questions in Science, Geography, and beyond. We’ll be writing stories, solving tricky maths problems, making amazing art, and even rocking out with our class projects.
In Year 4 we believe in working hard, being kind, and having fun along the way. Keep checking our page to see what we’ve been up to – from classroom highlights to special trips and creative projects.
We can’t wait to share our learning journey with you!
