Science: Investigating evaporation - Having planned our experiment we then made predictions and checked back periodically to see if the two different types of materials had dried.
History: Experimenting with Anglo-Saxon runes and writing our names.
Art: Having practised the skills of drawing a figure of a human body, we applied these to drawing a picture of Pandora and the box.
Children In Need - Anti-Bullying Week - Raising the awareness in year 4
RE: Reflecting on the Ten Commandments: We looked at five of the commandments and asked the children to stand next to the one they considered to be the most important. This encouraged lots of discussion between groups. Some learners decided to stand in the centre of the classroom as they believe that all of the commandments are of equal importance.
Books! Promoting our non-fiction books in year 4.
