  A kinship carer is absolutely anyone who is caring for a child who is not their own under any arrangement -  SGO, Child arrangement order, private fostering or just a grandparent who has started caring for their grandchild where there has been no need for children social care to get involved as it was just a family decision.

   

  The LA is running sessions for kinship carers to get together and to ensure they are aware of the support available to them. Please see the attached leaflet for more information, or follow the link below:

• Year Group Focus—Year 4

  Fri 27 Feb 2026

  Last term, in history the children have enjoyed learning about the Romans. They focused on the question ‘why were the Romans such successful invaders. The children enjoyed making Roman shields and using them whilst getting into a range of army formations. To enrich the children’s learning, they also were given the opportunity to create clay models of Roman armour.

   

  In DT, the children designed and made a seasonal salad which they loved eating! They learned about what seasonality is and how different foods are produced. Before making their final salad, the children took part in a taste testing session in order to decide what they wanted to include in theirs.

   

  As part of their PSHE learning on different careers, Year 4 were also given a talk by two police officers about their job role. The children were given a chance to look at different police equipment and ask lots of questions!
