  • Year 4 has been busy bringing the rainforest to life! ​​

    Published 13/02/26, by Nafisah Mahmood

    Each child created their own rainforest diorama, carefully including animals, plants, and the different layers of the rainforest.

    Through this project, Year 4 has been learning about the life cycles of plants and animals and how everything in nature depends on each other. They explored the balance and harmony in creation, reflecting the perfection of Allah’s world. We also discussed how Islam teaches us to care for the environment and all living creatures. It has been wonderful to see their creativity, learning, and faith come together in such a hands-on project!  

    'In Art, we have been learning about rainforests. We used coloured paper, shoe boxes, outdoor leaves, twigs, felt and cut out animals to create our own diorama.' - Imaan & Tasneem

    'Some people added waterfalls, lakes, flowers, and branches on the sides. I loved everything about the rainforest diagram. I love nature, and I'm happy I got to use my creative side.' - Fatima Z

  • Year 4 Podcast Fun: The Ghost Thief

    Published 04/02/26, by Nafisah Mahmood

    In Year 4, we have been enjoying learning about The Ghost Thief podcast story. We listened carefully to each episode, talked about the characters, and shared our ideas about what might happen next. We also learnt how voices, sound effects, and music can make a story exciting and help listeners imagine what is happening.

    After listening to the story, we created our own podcasts! We planned our ideas, wrote our own scripts, and practised speaking clearly and with expression. We worked together to record our voices and thought carefully about how to make our podcasts fun and interesting for others to enjoy. This helped us build confidence, creativity, and teamwork skills.

    We have been learning about the Anglo-Saxons, Picts and Scots. This week we made our own Pictish stones using air dry clay. A Pictish stone is a monument made from stone that is generally carved with symbols and designs that represent various clans and lineages. We moulded our stones using our hands. We carved our initials into our stones using the Ogham alphabet.

  • For British Science Week, children created Sundials!

    Published 01/05/24, by Nafisah Mahmood
    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 this, we can measure the passing of time.
     
    This week in History, we had great fun creating Pictish sand stones. We used the Ogham alphabet used by Picts to carve our names onto the stones!

  • Different drinks and their effect on your teeth

    Published 25/03/24, by Aysha Begum

    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's trip to the superb Science Museum !

    Published 18/03/24, by Aysha Begum
    Year 4 have been learning about digestion in Science this term. We went to an exciting digestion workshop called  ' It takes Guts!' at the Science Museum. Read what some of the attendees thought about the trip :

    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 !

    Musthafa

     

    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 !

    Afsa

     

    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.
