Making a model of the Earth

In Geography we were learning about the structure of the Earth. The children made models to try and show the Earth's structure, including the crust, mantle and core. The children chose which materials they wanted to use to represent each layer and how they wanted to create their model so we could view all of the layers. They produced many interesting and creative models!

Year 4's WOW DAY

We had the most amazing time learning about the Stone Age and fossils on Monday. We took part in some maths challenges looking at Stone Age numerals and had a go at making our own shelters outdoors. We also used charcoal, pastels and chalk to create our very own cave art pictures and in the afternoon we published our artwork onto clay tiles. Take a look at some of the images form our favourite parts of the day.

Tree planting

Last week we were involved in the one tree for every child in Bristol project. We went and planted numourous trees that will in many years to come turn into a wonderful first for wildlife to set up a new home. Take a look at us planting below.

Year 4 celebration afternoon

Thank you to all the parents that were able to come along to our celebration of work afternoon. The children thouroughly enjoyed sharing their work with you all as well as showing off their Spanish language. This will happen at the end of every topic so we hope to see you again very soon. Take a look at us preparing below as well as talking to the parents during the event.

The Iron Man

During our Literacy lessons we have been learning 'The Iron Man' text. To inspire our writing during our invention week, we made our own junk model characters to feature in our writing. A big thank you to all those parents that helped us by collecting recycling to bring in. Take a look at us working in partnership to create our models as well as some final designs.

Some children even went on to write there own chapter books. These are going to be shared with other classes for story times as well as being available to read in our class book corner for our peers to read.

Recycling workshop

Year 4 have recently been working with a local artist to create some recycling stickers that will go around the local area to remind and promote people to recycle and look after the environment. We have also been learning about the importance of a simple but clear message as well as different ways to create an engaging image. Together our ideas will create a collage of recycling art to be displayed locally. Take a look at some us hard at work below.
