What a talent group Y4 are! Today, for our Art day, we looked at the techniques for creating texture, shading and definition in drawings. Using graded pencils, after several example pieces, we had a go at creating our own interpretations of Paul Cezanne or Shania Mcdonagh works.

We are supporting our libraries! Year 4 enjoyed their trip to the library – they looked at some books, listened to some stories and some are even going to join!

On Monday, Year 4 took part in a cultural French lesson where we studied the structure of the Eiffel tower and then had a go at replicating this using art straws. The children showed their amazing engineering skills, team work and communication to create some fabulous, replica structures.

4HW focused on Williams journey in Alaska for Geography day. We looked at the route he takes to school and the beautiful landmarks he comes across.

The children in 4H, spent their morning learning about Lexi’s life in Nuuk, Greenland. We learnt about why different places on earth experience time differently and what this means for what another child’s day like. We researching the human and physical features of this city and created our own cartoon strips about Lexi’s day.

For Science Week Year 4 have created Pendulum timers to measure time. It was a great science week experiment!

The children had a fabulous session learning about how time was told before modern clocks. The children then had a go at making their own pendulums and testing out different weights to see the movement of the pendulum.

Year 3 had an incredible time last week with Professor McGinty learning all about Roman Britain! Then Year 4 learnt about the Vikings! We handled artefacts, learned some interesting facts and even tried on some clothes!

We started the day with a book blanket, exploring the work of William Shakespeare – then children began to research his life and works, as part of an author study.

Y4 have thoroughly enjoyed writing poems this week. The children had to include metaphors and similes in their poems and created some brilliant work.
