September 2025 update

In History, Year 4 have learned about a typical day in the life for a child in Ancient Rome. With that in mind, we thought it was the perfect time to show you a day in the life of a Year 4 child at Glenfield Primary School!

In English, they have been drafting their own setting descriptions, carefully choosing descriptive language to make their writing vivid and engaging.

In reading, the children completed a task using dictionaries, searching for definitions to build their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of words.

In maths, the focus has been on place value, helping the children to develop confidence in recognising the value of each digit.

PE has been just as exciting, with the children beginning to learn cricket and practising their throwing skills, developing control with both overarm and underarm techniques.

It has been a productive and enjoyable time of learning!

October 2025 update

Parents of children in Year 4 were treated to a slice of Africa, when they were invited in to watch a djembe drumming lesson. Parents enjoyed hearing the children playing African beats on their drums with Mr Emerton from Leicestershire Music. It was only the third lesson of our djembe drumming, but the children demonstrated that they have already made great progress.
Children will take part in a 45-minute djembe lesson each week until the Summer term.
