Welcome to Year 4 Summer Term 24-25
Year 4 Composing
Year 4 have enjoyed more learning with the recorder. Today they have been working on understanding how to write music. We began by writing the treble clef, our time and then writing notes on the stave. We then enjoyed practising our first ever piece of music we wrote ourselves!
Disco
Year 4 had a fantastic time at the summer disco! They enjoyed dancing, games and snacks with their friends!
Gibside
Year 4 had a fantastic day at Gibside. They enjoyed lots of different activities with friends. We had some free time on The Avenue, den building in the woods and went on a nature walk where we found miniature frogs, ladybirds and even spotted a deer. We then enjoyed our lunch in the park and had some time to play on the equipment. Year 4 were fantastic and enjoyed their day.
Blossoms Project
Year 4 have enjoyed visiting Washington Old Hall today as the second part of their Blossom Project. They enjoyed listening to sounds in the natural environment, making recordings, interviewing each other and then using the resources around them to create their own art. We are looking forward to their work being displayed ! What a fantastic afternoon in the sun.
Year 3 and 4 Visit Beamish!
Year 3 and 4 have had a fantastic day visiting Beamish. They loved taking part in a workshop about the development of the safety lamp, exploring the 1950's and 1900's. They even had time to fit in an ice cream and a little play in the park. We would like to thanks Washington Rotary Club for such a fantastic day!
Sports Day
Year 4 had a fantastic morning at their Sports Day. They all enjoyed taking part in a variety of races for points for the house team. The races included egg and spoon, vortex throw, skipping race, dribble shoot out and long jump. We ended our sports day with a sprint. Well done to Willow and oak who came joint first.

Performing
Well done Year 4. We have ended or musical instrument learning unit. Together with our friends we wrote our own short piece, practised and then performed to others. We really enjoyed creating and sharing our own piece.
Colour Run
Year 3 and 4 enjoyed coming together today and taking part in The Colour Run. We enjoyed running around the yards and field while Year 6 splashed us with colour. Our favourite part was the water slide at the end of the run. We would like to thank Year 6 for organising a fantastic event. We all enjoyed the event!
Litter Picking
What an excellent morning. Today we were joined by Keep Washington Tidy. We enjoyed an assembly telling us all about the dangers of littering and how long it takes for rubbish to decompose. We then enjoyed going into Blackfell and litter picking. We collected an amazing sixty eight bags! We really enjoyed helping to keep Washington Tidy!
