Year 4 have been busy learning about Sikhism in RE and this week explored the festival Vaisakhi. We used orange and navy blue tissue paper to create dhol drums and recalled our learning about the festival while we created. Watch this space for photos of our finished drums.
Year 4 have been enjoying learning the skills needed to have a successful cricket game. This week we practised using long and short barriers when stopping a rolling ball. The Year 4 teachers are also incredibly proud of the courage and determination (and energy!) the children have shown during their swimming lessons. Oak will be having their swimming lessons after half term.
Year 4 completed their investigations this week looking at the melting points of various solids. As they have already looked at the melting point of ice, each group chose 3 new solids to test including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, cheese and butter. Who knew it would be so exciting watching butter melt!
In RE today, the children revisited the story of Rama and Sita. The story is a celebration of how good triumphs and is remembered by Hindus every year during Diwali. Today, we had a dance workshop and recreated the story through dance.

This week, children visited the Discover Story Centre in Stratford. They loved working with the story builders and were bursting with ideas to add. We highly recommend that you visit and let your imagination run wild.
