Year 4 - Spruce & Rowan

What makes you happy?

This week, Year 4 thought about what makes them happy and wrote some lovely poems.

Thinking about racism

Year 4 have had a PSHE lesson about racism, based on recent events. They produced some brilliant work to show that we should celebrate our differences.

Working from home

Spruce Class and Rowan Class are doing a great job at keeping up with their home learning! Miss Flaherty and Miss Clark have been so impressed with all the photos and videos they've been sent. Keep up the hard work!

Mummifying Tomatoes

Year 4 learnt all about the process of mummification by mummifying some tomatoes! We can’t wait to see if it actually preserves them like the ancient Egyptian bodies!

Outdoor Maths

Year 4 took their maths learning outside today and used the patio slabs to try to calculate the area!

The Great Wave

Year 4 have been looking at “The Great Wave” as part of our natural disasters topic and learning about tsunamis. We have been experimenting with watercolours to try and recreate the colours that Hokusai used in the original.

Year 4 Enterprise

Year 4 held their own "Enterprise" stall at our Christmas Fayre - their very own Christmas decorations stuffed with Edwalton alpaca wool!

Magna Science

Year 4 had a brilliant trip to the Magna Science Adventure Centre on Friday, 22nd November. We especially loved the fire tornado and our volcano workshop!

Top Trumps!

Year 4 have loved learning about the Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses, which involved designing our own "Top Trumps" cards and then playing against each other!

Year 4 mastering 4-digit numbers

Theseus and the Minotaur

Year 4 have been learning the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. We went out into our woods to act out the story to help prepare us for retelling the story in our extended write this week.
