Year 4

In Year 4, the children have been learning how to create a 3D drawing.  We have experimented with shading to create different tones and how to make an object look 3D..

This term, Year 4 are exploring electrical circuits and conductors. Today we used our knowledge of circuits and conductors and insulators to discuss the purpose of switches and how they work.

The children were then given a variety of items such as paperclips, card, paper fasteners and safety…

Children in Year 4 have been learning about the history of the Christingle and why it is important to all Christians.  

As part of our Year 4 Swimming lessons, the children have been how to swim in pyjamas.  Not only did the children have a fab time, they also learnt some important water safety messages and lifesaving skills. 

Year 4 have used all their new knowledge of complete and incomplete circuits as well as conductors and insulators to create a burglar alarm.

Great Science and great problem solving!

Children in Year 4 have spent the day making lanterns ready for the Ellesmere Port Lantern Parade and Christmas Light Switch On. 

The children have reinforced their measurement and shape knowledge as well as learning about structures. 

In Computing, children in Year 4 have been building on their Scratch Programming knowledge to create an electrical circuit game.  The children have been learning about different variables as well as broadcast commands.  

Children in Year 4 have been exploring electrical circuits.  All the children were given different components (wires, cells, bulbs and buzzers) and were asked to create as many different working circuits as possible.  

Children in Year 4 have been looking at conjunctions and exploring how they can change the meaning of a sentence.   

Children in Year 4 have been developing their knowledge and skills in order to be able to complete a safe and accurate search.  The children have looked at trusted search engines as well as strategies to improve search results.
