For our drop-down day this half-term, we explored the oneness of Allah and His creations. We went to our local park to use teamwork skills to build iron men.

As part of British Science Week, children created Sundials.  They learnt that a sundial works by using the sun’s light to create shadows and most have a ‘gnomon’ – a thin rod that will cast a shadow onto a flat plate. The Earth is constantly rotating on its axis, which means the position of the Sun appears to change in the sky throughout the day. The position of shadows, therefore, also changes throughout the day and, by tracking them, we can measure the passing of time.

Year four had lots of fun making dioramas of the rainforest in a shoebox.  Dioramas are three-dimensional art. The pictures below show the process of making a diorama and some of the end products.

We conducted an investigation showing the effects of liquids on our teeth. We used cola, water and fruit juice and left it overnight. We found that liquids that are high in sugar and acids are harmful to our teeth and can weaken them over time. Water is the best liquid to drink to keep our teeth nice and healthy!

Year 4 four children have been looking at way to take care of their mental health. 

The children discussed way that they take care of their mental health and put it to the test! We had a day full of well being activities that allowed us to try different things that helped us to keep us happy. 

From exercise and drawing, to making delicious fruit tarts! All areas of our health were taken care of today!
