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.
World Book Day adventures! We spent the week sharing our favourite books and dressing up as our favourite characters from the stories and making book covers!
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!
I loved going on the Science Museum trip. In the Digestion workshop, the lady used a flamethrower and the flames went as high as the ceiling !

The Science Museum was amazing ! The instructor asked us to mix and mash a variety of different food in a bowl and put it in a bag, like a stomach. Then she cut a hole at the bottom of the bag, and it came out like … Everyone was screaming when she squirted us with saliva, but it was actually only water. My favourite part was when she started real flames with the flamethrower !

I had lots of fun when we went to the Science Museum. The best bit was the fire bit with a real flamethrower and huge flames ! It was a fabulous trip. I recommend this trip to anyone who likes stuff like slime and digestion.

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!
Year 4 have been learning about expanded words (full words) and contracted words (shortened words) in English. We only use full words in formal writing. Why not play a game with your family ? You tell them a contracted word and they have to guess the full versions. How many can you match up ?
In Science today, we collected a variety of leaves from our local environment. We observed our leaves carefully, looking at the textures and veins. We then used these features to classify the leaves.
In D&T this term we have been designing and making a purse or wallet. Over a number of lessons, we learnt how to cut and pin a template, cut a fabric shape and sew the seams with different stitches, such as running stitch or over stitch. Finally, we decorated our purses with ribbon or sequins and learnt how to attach a fastening.
Now we are ready to take our money containers to the shops !
In D&T this term, Year 4 have been designing and making money containers such as purses and wallets. This has developed a number of skills. First, we practised different stitches. Then we chose and cut out a template and used it to cut out the design we wanted on fabric. We are looking forward to sewing our purses together !
