Year 4

Empower yourselves with a good education, then get out there and use that education to build a country worthy of your boundless promise.

Michelle Obama

Well done Year 4!

This April, Year 4 attended the Annual Inter-Borough Sportshall Athletics competition. With a mixture of both running and field events the year 4 children were able to demonstrate their sporting skills and they came 3rd out of a total of 8 Westminster Schools.

Humanities: Children in year 4 are serious in their learning and have completely immersed themselves in the intricate piece of history that sees Britain take shape under Roman settlement and how the Anglos-Saxons also made a long lasting mark.

After our visit to a West Stow is the site of an early Anglo-Saxon village, occupied from AD 420-650, over 400 years before the Norman Conquest.

The reconstructed village now consists of eight buildings:

  • craft building
  • farmers house
  • hall building
  • living house
  • oldest house
  • sunken house
  • weaving house
  • workshop

Year 4 paid a visit first:

Then, with all the newly-acquired knowledge, Year 4 worked in groups to build their own versions of an Anglo-Saxon village, carefully taking into account the many aspect that would make these ancestral form of society function.

Well done Year 4 class and all children at Hampden Gurney for such an inspiring Geography Day!
