Welcome to year 4!

Immersion Week: Tuesday 22nd April - Friday 25th April 2025

History

This week, we focused on history, learning about the monarchs who reigned in England from the 11th century onwards. The children learned about significant events that took place over the past 1000 years, starting with William the Conqueror and continuing all the way to King Charles III.

We looked at the differences between absolute monarchs and constitutional monarchs, discussing how each system of rule works and how they differ from one another. The children started to understand how power and government have changed over time.

We also explored the importance of the Magna Carta and how this historic document laid the foundations for the freedoms and human rights we value today.

Science

In science this week, the children learned about the different parts of a plant and the specific functions each part serves. We explored the process of germination and how a seed begins to grow, as well as the role of pollination in a plant's life cycle.
