Pine Tree trip to London Canal Museum

 

Pine Tree visit the London Canal Museum

This term, Year 4 have been learning about different bodies of water. We learned about how they are formed and how they are used. To help us with our writing, we went to the London Canal Museum to see what it was like walking along the canals and to learn how they were used in the past. 

Pupils were able to explore a barge that was used to transport goods into the city, dress up like the people who worked on the canals and find out about the dangers of being by the water.

Pine Tree visit Bostall Woods

Pine Tree's trip to Bostall Woods

In Science, Pine Tree class have been learning about living things and their habitats. We went to Bostall Woods to explore the area and find out more about the types of living things that can be found in the local area.

We used classification keys to help us identify the different types of trees and discussed why some things were able to grow better than others. 

 

Year 4 - Pine Tree get cooking!

During Mini-Chef last week, Pine Tree made a spicy potato curry with fluffy white rice. We worked in small groups to wash peel and chop the potatoes, onions and tomatoes. We spoke about the importance of washing the potatoes and the rice to remove starch.

When it was our time to prepare the ingredients, we thought about good food hygiene practices. including washing our hands, wearing an apron and a hair net.

We were all very sensible when working with knives and cooking on the hob. Boxing up the recipe, washing up and clearing up were just as important jobs which the children all got involved in.

The potato curry was a great success as we sold the entire batch to our parents! Recipe cards will be going home with the children tomorrow if you would like to try making this at home for yourselves.
