Class of 2017

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.

We have been learning about evaporation. We wet different materials and hung them around the school to find out which location would dry them quicker. We had to weigh them before we hung them out and then again after to see how much water had evaporated from them. The materials that were put on…
