Y4 – Science – Drainage Systems – 23.1.2025

24th January 2025H Smith
Year 4 had a tremendous afternoon with a familiar face from our St Oz family, Mr Hayton! We had a great time learning about the water cycle and water flow and how this can lead to flood damage ️. We looked at drainage systems and how we will make our own ‘Rain Gardens’ next week to slow the flow down and catch the water. We experimented with materials that allow water through and materials that don’t (like tarmac paths).
We also demonstrated the flow of water and how we can slow it down with rocks, hessian and soil! Keep your eyes peeled for the results next week when John returns for part 2…

Y4 – Science – Particles of solid, liquid and gas – 23.1.2025

23rd January 2025H Smith

Year 4 continued with their science topic yesterday, and this week we looked at the different particles of solids, liquids and gases. To help us visualise this, we worked in groups to position ourselves correctly to represent each of the states.

Y4 – RE – The Last Supper – 21.1.2025

21st January 2025H Smith

In RE, Year 4 looked at the Last Supper. We used a Conscience Alley strategy, where one member of the class was picked to play the role of Judas, with one line of the class suggesting why he should betray Jesus, and one line of the class suggesting why Jesus should not. Year 4 came up with some very compelling arguments and gave our class Judas a lot to think about!

Year 4 had a brilliant time participating in the athletics tournament at Temple Park today! We competed in a range of athletics events, including the relay, javelin and long jump. Well done on your fab sportsmanship Year 4!

Year 4 – Musical Notation – 17.01.2025

17th January 2025Jade Sharrock

Year 4 have been looking at notation this week in music. We listened to an audio clip on a thunderstorm as our stimulus, identifying different sounds and where he volume and pitch changed. We then created our own symbols to represent the sounds. After, we moved on to produce a dot notation for a familiar song, Twinkle Twinkle.

Year 4 – Landscapes! – 15.01.2025

15th January 2025Jade Sharrock

Year 4 had a great afternoon being landscape artists! We firstly looked at some pieces of landscape artwork and discussed colour, texture, line and what we liked about them. We then practiced some techniques to create ‘atmospheric perspective’ to create a foreground, middle ground and background! ⛰️️

Y4 – PE – Mastering Front Crawl – 13.1.2025

13th January 2025H Smith

Year 4 loved their first swimming session today! We had so much fun in the pool practicing front crawl ‍♀️! Miss Marley can’t wait to see our confidence and swimming ability grow over this term

Y2 – Music – Stormy Sea Stimulus – 10.1.2025

10th January 2025H Smith

Year 2 began their music learning for the half term with a COOL task all about composing alongside a stimulus. They were given a piece of art showcasing a stormy sea and were asked to compose a piece of music to it in small groups. We are loving all of the links to our new topic of Coastlines!

Y4 – Computing – Turtle Academy – 10.1.2025

10th January 2025H Smith

Year 4 have spent their afternoon exploring coding as part of their computing unit. Using Turtle Academy, we followed the basic commands to make our turtle move in different directions. We then followed through the steps to turn, combine commands and create shortcuts. We LOVED this, and can’t wait for our next computing lesson already!

Y4 – Science – Solid, Liquid or Gas? – 10.1.2025

10th January 2025H Smith

Following on from our Forest School session, Year 4 have been exploring states of matter further. We looked at lots of different materials to determine whether they were a solid, liquid or gas. However, some were harder to categorise than others…shaving foam and toothpaste caused quite a class debate!
