Electrifying Learning
This week in Year 4, we have been constructing a simple series electrical circuit and using all the correct terminology to identify the key parts. We have been very impressed with the way the children have derived their own questions based on this. Next week, we will be using different scientific enquiries to answer these […]
Who’s that behind the mask!
We have been considering the influence of Ancient Greece on areas of our modern day lives. We have had a particular focus on entertainment and theatre. We have been researching different theatre masks that were used to perform. The children have done some fantastic sketches based on different elaborate masks and next week we’ll be […]
Solid, Liquid, Gas….Lets Eat Our Ice Cream Fast!
In Year 4 we have been making ice cream as part of our DT unit linked to states of matter. We designed, packaged and made vanilla ice cream with healthy toppings. The children made the ice cream from scratch without using a freezer. They then used a range of fruit to flavour the ice cream. […]
What Matters Most!
What Matters Most! We have been looking at properties of materials. The children demonstrated the difference between each state of matter by using their bodies and movements! The children have also learnt all about the Water Cycle and how this involves all 3 states of matter. Check out our amazing work!
Spy Kids!
Today we had a launch for our new Science based mini mission about electricity! We watched an episode of Sky Kids as a clue to our mini mission and then spent the afternoon investigating the parts of a torch, taking it a part and looking at the different parts needed to make a circuit. We […]
Year 4 are coming to the end of their Viking mini mission
This morning we are painting our Viking Helmets. We have now come to the end of the Viking mini mission. We have learnt lots of facts during the past 3 weeks and the children have really enjoyed this unit finishing off by writing their own chronological report about the Viking invasion. Our next mini mission […]
The Vikings!
We had a brilliant morning today kicking off our new mini mission about the Vikings! We followed a recipe to bake Viking bread and then tasted it this afternoon with honey. The children have brought some home for you to try. We discussed why it was so heavy and dense, thinking about the ingredients that […]
