Today, Year 4 had an amazing time watching water come to life in our dome workshop. We consolidated our learning on the Water Cycle linked to our Geography unit this term and also recapped States of Matter from our previous Science unit. It was a very interactive workshop and the children all had a fantastic time! Here are some pictures:
In forest school this week, we worked in groups to build an effective shelter to keep us dry in case it rained! Here are some of the dens we created.
This week, we enjoyed an African drumming workshop where we go to explore creating different rhythms using a range of different instruments including drums, boomwhackers and cowbells.
As part of our Christmas celebrations, we made Christingles and discussed what each part represents. We then took these to a whole school service in the hall where we sang Christmas songs and learnt more about this tradition. Below are some pictures of our Christingles.
This term, we have been thinking about hygiene in the kitchen, healthy eating and following a recipe to make bread.
For Science day, we investigated whether the length of your femur affects the distance you can jump. We connected this to our learning in Year 3 on ‘Animals including humans’ and used what we know about how our muscles work and where the femur is located as part of our skeleton.
First, we planned our investigation. We considered the variables, outcomes and how we would ensure a fair test before carrying out the investigation to get our results and make our conclusions.
In Year 4, we are lucky enough to have a coach from Gloucester Rugby come in each Friday to introduce us to Tag Rugby. We have enjoyed our first two sessions and are looking forward to the rest!

This week, Year 4 have been exploring poetry in English. To finish our unit, we have written haikus about habitats to link to our learning in Science. Below are some examples of our wonderful work.
