Year 4 have been using their Art and DT skills to make Chinese dragons ready to celebrate 2022 The Year of the Tiger.

Over the last half term we have been practising different pop up techniques. Today we have made a moving Christmas picture.

Year 4 have been learning the French names for Christmas objects. These strips are ready to make into a paper chain to hang in the classroom.

Year 4 have been revising colour names in French. Do you like our pictures of un bonhomme de neige?

Year 4 have been learning about the festival of Hanukkah. We have drawn menorah candlesticks and have played the Dreidel game.

Year 4 went to Ripley School to complete some Science experiments.

We had a fantastic time!

Yesterday afternoon Diana from NISCU came to give us an RE lesson based on Jesus the light of the World. We found Bible quotes, discussed how Jesus could show us the light and made paper lanterns.

The children have designed their own pictures in the style of the artist Hundertwasser. Eventually these will be made into calendars for 2022. Don’t the pictures look bright and colourful?

We investigated ways of travelling to France. Next we made a guidebook showing places to visit in Paris.

Year 4 have been designing and making chairs. We made a variety of test chairs to see which materials were good to use. Next we designed a chair for a teddy or book character in our sketch books. Finally, we had a fun afternoon making our finished product.

Year 4 French Day

Year 4 dressed up and brought in food to eat. The food was delicious. We played games, did quizzes and completed some research.

We have been looking at chronology and placing key periods of history into the correct order.
