Topic – To Infinity And Beyond!
Can your child tell you how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun?
How about how long it takes for the moon to orbit the Earth?
Year Four seem to be really enjoying the Space topic! Last half term, the children produced some fantastic drawings of some of the space artefacts we have in school – take a look at our space display in class! This half term we will be developing our sewing skills to create alien hand puppets.
We have an exciting visit from a space dome to look forward to at the end of March when the children will experience an interactive virtual tour of the solar system!

What a great 3D dodecahedron!
Cross-country
The Year Four cross-country competition that was due to take place in November has been rescheduled for Friday 18 February. The children will have their lunch as usual at school and then be taken in mini buses to Cardinal Heenan. We’ll return in time for the end of the school day. Children will need their PE kits in school that day. It should be a fun end to the half-term!

We’ll be walking there in the morning and returning to Moortown in time for lunch. Please ensure children have their PE kits in school.

Don’t forget Year Four’s class assembly on Thursday 27 January. It will start at 2.45.
We look forward to seeing you then!
Topic
“It was great fun going to the museum!”
“I liked making the solar-powered cars.”
These are just a couple of the positive comments from the Year Fours about our last topic, ‘All Aboard’.
We have kick-started this year with a mini-topic on South Africa. The children have already used the atlases to locate South Africa and its surrounding countries. The African animal art work has really brightened up our classroom too!
Our main topic this term is ‘To Infinity and Beyond!’ As we will learn all about space, this topic is mostly science-based. However, there will be links with some other subjects such as literacy, DT and ICT.
