Year 4 Science

 This term in year 4, for our Science topic we have been looking at different states of matter. 

In our recent lesson, we looked at how we know the difference between solids, liquids and gases. 

In our science lesson, we learnt it was all because of how the particles moved around. In our learning, we discussed how solids have a fixed shape, liquids take the shape of their container and gases have no fixed shape. 

We looked first at what the particles do in these different states, then we showed how they move around.  

We first looked at how solids have a fixed shape, they do not move in their container.

We then looked at liquids, these do move or flow in their container, moving past each other. 

With gases, these zoom around not stopping for other particles. 

Creating Polygons with Year 2.

Today in Maths, we discussed what a polygon is and described the properties of different polygons by using the language of sides and vertices. We then used the geo boards to create different polygons and described them to our partner. 

Year 4 Maths!

During our Maths learning this week, Year 4 looked at negative numbers. We looked at how temperature can go below zero and how this is represented using negative numbers. 

We then explored the concept using real-life examples, discussing how temperatures change between positive and negative values (e.g. 5°C to -3°C). 

Children practised reading temperatures, identifying the difference between temperatures, and using number lines to understand how numbers decrease below zero.

Art with Year 2

Today in Art, we worked in groups to create as many different letters of the alphabet using our bodies. We made sure that we listened to each other and were able to show the letters we created to the whole class. 

Week 1 at Nursery - exploring our new environment

 The week a few children have been joining our Nursery classes each day. Have. Look at what we have been up to…

Year 4 - Starting to learn the Ukulele!

Year 4 have had their first lessons on the Ukulele in music with Mrs Manser. So far we have learnt the names of the strings using the mnemonic Good Children Eat Apples and we have started playing a song called "My dog has fleas!". Next we are going to focus on using the correct fingers to play chords. 

Food Tech in Year One

The children enjoyed making and tasting fruit smoothies.

“It’s yummy.”

 

English Adventurers in Year One

Children were excited to learn that characters Abe & Alba had escaped from their book. Signs of their adventures mysteriously appeared around the school. Worried that something bad might befall them, children busied themselves writing stories, drawing pictures and maps as well as building traps. Finally children laid their work out in a trail leading back to their book. Hopefully they will make it back safe and sound!
