Art Group

Today the Art pupil leadership group met for the first time today. They created winter sky landscapes with silhouettes of local landmarks. They were then presented with a certificate.

Year 4 Geography

In Geography, we have been looking at navigating the earth. We found out what the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn were and then used Atlases and online maps to identify countries in each of these tropics.

We also looked at the equator and found out which countries were situated on this.

We can explain that the closer a country is to the equator is, the warmer it is! 

Year 4 Science

 In Science, we have been learning about living things. 

We went focused on classification this lesson. 

We went to the forest school and used classification keys to identify what type of plant or tree it came from. We also identified features of leaves too to further help us classify them.

Year 4 Computing

Linked with our Geography, we have been making PowerPoints about Islands. We chose from Greenland, Bora Bora, Bali, Hawaii, Galapagos Islands and Madagascar. 

We then learnt how to start a new PowerPoint and edit the text and background to suit the theme we wanted to portray to the viewer.

We are working on our typing skills and locating letters with more speed and efficiency. 

 

Year 4 - RE - Humanist Guest speaker

Year 4 invited a Humanist speaker – Clive Aruede. They learnt that  Humanism, is a non-religious belief system that emphasizes on human values, reason, and compassion. The speaker explained key principles of humanism, such as kindness, fairness, and responsibility. The session encouraged critical thinking and helped students understand different perspectives on life and ethics.
