Class of 2015

Today we went on our first class trip since the COVID outbreak.   Hurrah!!  We travelled to Beacon Fell and learnt all about how to survive in the wild.  We have been reading Kensuke's Kingdom in school and had already picked up some great survival tips from that.  We found out more about how best…

Today we had our final session of Play Leaders Training with Scott and Greg. We have been learning about how to teach younger children to play new games at breaktimes and lunchtimes and we cannot wait to get going now.  We have learnt how to organise and manage different games and have had to…

We have been learning about decimal place value this week.  We cut up a straw (our "whole")  into tenths to make necklaces.  We then cut up a tenth piece into hundredths to make hundredth bracelets, and a few of us managed to persist with dividing a hundredth into thousandths to make earrings! …

We had a great time when we celebrated World Book Day in school.  Can you work out which book characters we are from our costumes?

Today we had a historian from the museum service who taught us all about Maya artefacts.  We got to handle and discuss the objects and tried to work out what they were, what they were used for and what they taught us about the Maya people.

We have been completing lots of investigations to learn about friction. We used force meters to move our PE bags across different surfaces and have devised our own experiment to test which surface creates more friction. We have also made paper spinners to test air…

We have been really lucky in Y4 to have the opportunity for an Egyptologist to come into our class. We discussed Egyptian society and together we formed a triangle to show the importance of different jobs. We even got the chance to mummify a body! Have look at our…

During our topic about Ancient Egypt, we have learnt about Tutankhamun. We have looked closely at a photograph showing some of the artefacts that were found in his tomb thousands of years ago and have tried to infer information about Tutankhamun from this. We used our deduction skills just like…

In Year 4, we have been putting key dates in history into chronological order. We have been discussing the terms BC and AD and using these to order key events.

In Year 4, we have been exploring different circuits and making our own. We have been investigating materials that are insulators and those that are electrical conductors.
