Year 4 had a special visitor in class today! As part of our science topic ‘Electrical Circuits and Conductors’, we had Paul, an electrician, come in to help us build our own circuits! We looked at how we could construct a circuit to make a light bulb, motor and buzzer work, and then experimented we different circuits to see if we could identify errors and how to solve them.

Year 4 started their new DT topic ‘Tomb Builders’ today. We looked at simple machines, and looked at different mechanisms to see if we could identify what simple machine had been used.

Last week, as part of our English topic, year 4 looked at comic strips. We looked at features of a comic, and then created a story board of own, thinking about our characters speech.

Year 4 loved starting their new PE unit this week. We are focusing on athletics and completed a cool task around javelin, hurdles and long jump. Well done Year 4!

Year 4 loved their first Spanish lesson of the summer term! Today we looked at different weather and how to describe lots of different types of weather types in Spanish. We practised both speaking and listening to test our knowledge.

After working so hard over the last few weeks, Year 3 and 4 put on an AMAZING performance this week showcasing their Easter Show. We are so so proud of how hard they have all worked learning their parts and all of the songs, well done Year 3 and 4!

Year 3 and 4 enjoyed our time outside visiting the different stations during prayer space day. We spent time reflecting on different character traits at 7 different stations across the morning!

Following on from looking at vertebrates last week, year 4 moved on to invertebrates, and looked at how we could group them. We worked in groups to figure out how each animal would be categorised.

This week, Mr B has set Year 4 a challenge to become ‘Decimal Detectives’! Following on from our learning in maths around fractions, we are now focusing on decimals. Our first task was to match the correct decimals to the corresponding fractions.

Year 4 continued their work on classification in science last week. We looked at the different ways to categories living things, starting with the plant and animal kingdom. Focusing on the animal kingdom, we then sorted our animals into vertebrates and invertebrates, then further categorising these into birds, fish, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.
