Lets Go Outside

Spring 2

Spring 1

Today, we have been dreaming BIG!!! We have been looking at being ambitious and learning about a range of jobs we could aspire to have when we are older. We have been news reporters, journalists and camera technicians by creating a new report on deforestation. We have been architects, fashion designers and data collectors in maths. We even became zoologists in science and designed suitable habitats for different animals. What a great day!

To get us moving more, we decided to try out the Cosmic Kids Yoga video from youtube. It was a great success and everyone really enjoyed it

We had a fantastic day at Leicester Museum, visiting the Egyptian exhibition! We learnt so much about ancient Egypt and even got to hold some ancient artifacts.

Our odd socks for Anti-Bullying week!!

To finish off our science unit this half term, we did the digestive system demo! We mixed together food and 'stomach acid' (orange juice), then put it into the intestines (tights) and squeezed out all the nutrients. After that we squeezed out all of the waste. It was very messy, but we had a great time.

This week in our Golden time, we made art inspired by Kente fabric and we listened to Jazz music while we did it. Children cut their paper and weaved strips through, before they drew different designs on each square. Look at how brilliant their work is!

This morning we had a great time with parents at our stay and learn doing some times tables work! Times tables are so important in year 4. The children had a great time doing Tackling Tables card games, Hit the Button and other board games, as well as challenging their parents too!

For our golden time, we did some activities all about important people in black history. Children did word searches and made information posters about these people! We also listened to some soul music in the background to cross that off our bingo card.

This half term our science unit it all about teeth and digestion, so this week we conducted an investigation to find out what would happen to our tooth enamel as a result of different liquids. Ask your child what we found out (and swipe to the end to see what we did!!).

This week we have been working on partitioning 4 digit numbers in different ways. Here is an example of some flexible partitioning that some children did together.

Today Olives too part in the 'Sporting Superstars Challenge' where their goal was to score their highest possible score on each activity! They all did a fantastic job and in 3 weeks time we will complete these challenges again to see if they have improved!

Today we have been discussing what makes a positive relationship in our PSHE lesson. We looked at some different scenarios and talked about what we could do to help them out.
