Our PE this week has been a bit different as we had a visit from ‘Go Velo’ and had the chance to develop our cycling skills. The rain stayed away and we had a great time showing lots of enthusiasm and resilience.

As part of out DT topic on structure, we have been investigating different techniques for making strong stable structures using a variety of materials. We want our final shelters to be able to withstand wind, rain, wear and tear and impact, so we used our science investigation skills to test how…

Year 4 enjoyed an action packed day learning cycling skills with Go Velo! Everyone was amazing and had a fantastic attitude whether they were experienced cyclists or learning for the first time. Well done year 4, and thank you Go Velo!
 

We are reading Stone Age Boy and today we acted out some of the scenes. As you see, we had lots of fun!!

We walked into our classroom this morning to find it had been destroyed. There was a letter and a picture with Evil Pea sat on our carpet spots, we couldn’t believe it. Today we made some posters to describe him so everyone knew and we also set some traps to help us try and catch him. 

We are learning about the role of archaeologists in our new history topic about prehistoric Britain. We found out that archaeologists often dig for clues about past civilisations. We decided to look for clues about the past by looking through the bins bags from the different classes in school. We…

This half term we are finding out about heroes in the community and superheroes in stories. The children are enjoying pretending to be firefighters.

Year 4 enjoyed a trip to St Paul’s church, looking for features of a church building. Thank you to Reverend Catherine for answering all of their questions!

We created a timeline out of a toilet roll to show how incredibly long the period of prehistory (before written records) lasted. The Palaeolithic Stone Age period was by far the longest period we looked at. If each sheet…

Today, we started our new unit on Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We were posed the questions ‘Why did the Anglo-Saxons invade Britain?’ We had to use our deduction skills by looking at various clues to work out the reasons.

Our class novel is called ‘Stormbreaker’ by Anthony Horowitz.  Today, we read a chapter where the main character is asked to become a spy. We discussed all the pros and cons that he would face making his decision. We then took part in a ‘conscience alley’. The children had to whisper reasons for…

We have been learning about how sedimentary rocks are formed. Today with Mrs Dowson in science we made food models to show the different layers found in sedimentary rocks. We really enjoyed tasting our creations at the end!
