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.

InDT, Year 4 have been practising making pop up mechanisms using paper and card. This is in preparation for making a moving Christmas picture. We’ll show you some photos when they are finished.
