Year 4 – Commonwealth Cook Book

Year 4 are working on a commonwealth cookbook project with Digbeth Dining club and used recipe/ cook books to make a collage of what food we like and appeals to us. We then designed our own cookbook covers and will build on this in the future to discuss what food we love and how it makes us feel!

Commonwealth Games project

On the 10th March the children had their first session with members of Digbeth Dining club in preparation for our joint. The children will be working alongside the group to create recipe books for an expedition held during the games. Today the children looked through old recipe books and food magazines to find food that inspired them and created their own food mood boards. The children had an amazing, creative time, we finished the session feeling very hungry!

 

Author Visit

On the 4th March, Juliet Clare Bell (local children’s author) came to visit us at Raddlebarn for World Book day. She spent some time talking through the writer’s process from how she develops her ideas to how she get herself into a writing frame of mind. Finishing the session with a re-telling of one of her books. The children greatly enjoyed the experience!

STEM Experiment

This week the children have been completing a STEM experiment in Science to find out which substance will melt ice the quickest. We posed the scenario ‘Your pathway outside your house is covered in ice and you need to get to school on time. What are you going to do?’

Arts programme with the REP

As part of our on-going Arts programme with the REP we have chosen online tutorials for each year group to continue their study of the Arts. Over the Easter break we’d love for you to show them to your child/children and for them to get involved.
Year 4 = Poetry – Macavity the Mystery Cat
Before you listen to the poem, why do you think Macavity is a mystery cat?
Now listen to Bhav, he will read the poem aloud.
What do you think the poet means when they say “he breaks the law of gravity”?
