Our Exciting Visitors!!
Thank you to Mrs Kornas who brought in their beautiful pet guinea pigs. We learnt all about how they care for them , what they eat and where they sleep. We all had the option to give them a stroke too!
Forces in Year 4
Today, we have started to learn all about forces. We have watched a video about Isaac Newton and how he discovered gravity. We then used Newton meters to measure the amount of force needed to pull objects back down to earth and found out how this links to the mass of each object.
Making Switches
We have looked at a different types of switches and how they work. We then used a variety of materials to make our own switches.
Are all metals magnetic?
This week we have been investigating whether all metals are magnetic.
Which materials are electrical conductors?
We have been investigating which materials are electrical conductors by placing different objects in a circuit. An electrical conductor lights the bulb up and an electrical insulator does not. We concluded that metals are electrical conductors.
The Digestive System in Action
Today we have been following the path of food through the digestive system from beginning to end. It was messy but lots of fun.
Making circuits
We have been investigating how to make different circuits today. They included either a bulb, a buzzer or a motor. We then drew each circuit showing all the components used.
If Winter’s your favourite season, clap your hands!
Today, whilst learning about the weather patterns across the four seasons, the most amazing thing happened... it started to SNOW! Of course, we made the most of this wintery treat by heading outside and investigating the weather and temperature!
We checked the thermometer which told us it was a…
Static electricity
As part of our topic on electricity, we have been learning about static electricity and seeing it in action. We rubbed a balloon on our hair to charge the balloon and make our hair stand on end. We also used the balloon to lift pieces of paper from the table and make them dance, our balloon…
Introducing Electricity
We have started our ‘Let’s Travel!’ topic in class and within that we are going to be learning all about electricity, circuits and conductors and switches. Our first lesson this week was talking about all the components that make up a simple circuit. The children all managed to make the bulb light…
Who lives here.
Not quite the real thing but at least we found some British animals in our playground.
