Science Week

We ventured outside lots last week and took part in some fun activities! We looked at the varying habitats of plants, their root systems and we investigated which plants preferred shaded or sunny areas.

We also used pipe cleaners (caterpillars) to hide in different areas around our nature garden. This got us talking about how good some creatures are at hiding and staying camouflaged. 

4AO- World Book Day 2025!

World Book Day

Here is 4J enjoying World Book Day.

Science

During our sound unit for Science we designed and made ear defenders for Fry. Last week he came to look at them and test them out. We think he was very impressed!

Languages- French 

This term we have learnt the names of French celebrations and when they are celebrated throughout the year!

Science

In our topic this term we have been learning about sound and how sound travels. Have a look at the ear defenders which we designed and made!

English

We have been creating posters about The Seal Children story which we used to present our understanding to children from the other year 4 class.

Computing

We have been learning more about e-safety, including copyright.

Climate Change

We have been putting our learning about climate change into action by reusing rubbish to create artwork about damage to the arctic.

Art

We have been drawing polar bears using pen, pencil and charcoal.

Science

Exploring the way sound travels!

PE

This term we have been learning key skills to play Hockey- we have a safe position for holding our hockey sticks and we are now gaining better control of the hockey ball. Look at us in action!

Indoor PE

In indoor PE we are looking at Ancient Egypt and have been creating shapes using our bodies. Can you recognise any icons from Egypt in our counter balances and positions?

Making and flying our kites

Outdoor PE -With Coach Craig

We have really improved our ball skills this term- We have learnt a range of different throws and can pass a ball with accuracy.

Taking Tom for an outing to the Chapel in South Ockendon.

We watched Mr Hobbs and his friends perform the Nativity.

In geography we started our Europe unit by exploring our local area so we could compare with places in Europe later this term.

In science, we have learned how our food is digested, starting with the different types of teeth.

Fry then visited our classes so we could compare his teeth and learn how he takes care of them.

Music

We've been learning about the band ABBA. In particular the song Mama Mia. 

Mama mia, here I go again. My my, how can  resist you?

In computing, we worked on our word processing skills and produced posters about places in Europe.

In art, we painted like Michelangelo on our backs. It was quite tricky but we managed to work as a team to paint pictures of Fry!

More fun in Art- We learned about the artist and designer Coco Chanel. She inspired us to design and make our own hats. Have a look at our 'catwalk' around the classroom of hats!

Flexible partitioning in a practical Maths lesson- It was great fun and we worked as a good team. 

When Fry came to our PE lesson

Fry visited our first PE lesson so that we could watch his jumps and tricks. We then went on to comparing how we use our bodies to perform various jumps. Have a look at our jumps!

Geography

We created posters of information about Alpine countries in Europe. We drew our own maps to show the location of important cities and geological features.

French

We have been learning to name different activities so we can talk about the time we do them in French.

Science

In science, we learned about the water cycle. We understood how water changes state between liquid and gas in the water cycle.
