​Year 4 are looking at change over time and we are using Advent to prepare for Christmas.

This week we looked at the work of Andy Warhol who gave value to ordinary, everyday objects.

​We observed the change in state of chocolate as we heated it to become a liquid and cooled it to become solid again.
We used design and technology skills to make the paper bag.

​Year 4’s topic in the first half of the autumn term was Explorers. These displays show work in English, art and geography. We used watercolour paints, printing and ICT to produce our work.

​The children had their first day in their new class.
They enjoyed meeting their teachers and familarising themselves with their new
environments. 

School life rapidly returned to normal with exciting lessons, stories and circle time.

We celebrated the togetherness of Year 4 by cooking, playing a few games and finishing with a prayer. Thank you all for taking part.

We are Here
Year 4 visited the Tate to see the  Steve McQueen Year 3 Project. They were excited to see their photograph and consider how they had changed in many ways since it was taken in Year 3. They were interested in all the photographs, trying to find the schools of their friends and the school with the dog. 

​Static Electricity
 
Year 4 investigated static electricity and stuck a balloon to the wall. They were also intrigued about the effect of the ‘charged’ balloon on their hair.

Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 were involved in a two-day Computer Science workshop ‘Conducting Music’ run by Thames Music.  Using a Micro:bit and LED’s pupils coded to make music.
 Some pupils in Year 6 quoted:

• “This is better than Scratch because it has so many more options”
• “I didn’t realise you could make such wonderful music using a computer”
• “Making music with Micro:bit was amazing”
• “My physical actions corresponded to the music I made”
