We explored the different words and phrases we could use to make someone's as well as small little gestures.   

Today, in Science, we looked at our own teeth and then created our own scientific models using marshmallows.  Children then labelled the type of teeth and stated what the function of each. 

Children used different shading techniques to create our artwork as part of our Remembrance Day activities.

Today, the children learnt about the importance of 'Rainbow foods' in our diet and were encouraged to try new foods.  The children had lots of fun creating food collages inspired by the Italian artist, Guiseppe Arcimbaldo. 

Children in Year 4 have been developing their clay skills by creating a pinch pot, using Greek styles and shapes. 

Year 4 have been using playing cards, dice, counters and bingo to generate their addition own calculations. 

Children in Year 4 read the story of Theseus and the Minotaur before design their own maze.  The children practised their measurements and cutting skills, as well developing their teamwork skills.

Children used an i-pad to take photographs of themselves as a member of Greek society and then used images to merge themselves into a picture of Ancient Greek monument or landscape.

The Platonic shapes are made up from regular polygons.  Year 4 have been exploring the number of faces, number of edges and number of vertices. 

Year 4 completed a Number and Place Value Orienteering course around the garden.   

Children in Year 4 have been discussing their worries and what they could do if something is worrying or upsetting them.  We talked about the importance of telling someone they trust and made talking pegs, just like Billy in the story.   

Well Done to the children in Year 3 and Year 4 who played their first match of 2020 against Rivacre Valley Primary on Tuesday.
