Year 4 have been looking at consolidating all of their learning in the current geography topic, Misty Mountain, Winding River. We completed a hunt around the nature garden for questions which we had to work together to answer. Year 4 wowed staff with their knowledge and how well they were able to answer the questions on all they had learned!
What a fantastic jam packed day Year 4 have had at Low Barnes farm yesterday. Linked to our geography learning, we completed a study of the river, identifying key features and collecting data linked to this. As well as undertaking our geography fieldwork, we also had a chance to visit some of the animals on the farm, including bottle feeding the new born lambs!
The children were fantastic ambassadors for St Oswald’s, with farm staff commenting on their wonderful behaviour and engagement!
Year 3 and 4, as part of their worship challenge, ran for resilience. We have been looking at how Jesus was resilient so we tried to exhibit resilience by pushing ourselves and being resilient whilst running laps of our school yard!
Year 4 started to look at classification keys last week as part of our science topic. We were given a range of different animals, and used our classification keys, answering the questions to establish what type of animals they were.
In geography, Year 4 have been looking at mountains in the UK. We looked at the four main mountain ranges in the United Kingdom, focusing on Ben Nevis in the Grampian Mountains. We played a Kahoot quiz to learn more about it, then, working in groups, carried out own research to find more about the climate and wildlife found there. We then collated our findings to present to the rest of the class.
Year 4 began their new DT topic this week, Functional and Fancy Fabrics. We looked at William Morris, and how he was an influential figure. We looked at lots of a William Morris designs, and created fact files about his life and why he was significant.
Some of our gorgeous children took part in a Para Talent Football Festival this morning! Wow, they had a jam-packed morning filled with so much football, games and shooting! They played 2 vs 2 games, matches and some dribbling and control games ⚽️ We represented St Oz so well ☺️ .
Year 4 have had a great day at Sunderland Museum linked to their geography and science learning. We spent the morning looking at the River Wear, learning all about its history and how the river has been used over the years. After that, we participated in a workshop all about water, thinking about the water cycle and all of the different elements.
As part of our Grouping and Classifying topic in science, year 4 have been looking at how we can ask questions to find out more information, and how we use questions to eliminate certain answers. What better way to explore this than with a game of guess who?! We looked at what questions we could ask, and how we improve our questions strategically to get to the answer quicker!
Year 4 completed their worship challenge around being passionate this week. We thought about what we were passionate about as individuals, and then also thought about what we as a class were passionate about. We talked as a class about how it is important for us to be passionate about our learning, and passionate about our connections and friendships in class.
