Year 4 Summer 2023-24
Young Scientists
Year 4 were joined by two recent graduates from Newcastle University who lead a 'Young Scientist Workshop'. We had lots of fun exploring different areas of science that we could study in future and enjoyed experimenting with a range of activities linked to these areas. Some of our favourite areas were electricity, topology, computer science and chemistry.
Attendance of the Month
To celebrate winning the Attendance of the Month award, Year 4 enjoyed a movie hour with some special treats! Well done on such high attendance for April!
The Firework-Maker's Daughter
In literacy, we have started our new unit which is based on The Firework-Maker's Daughter by Philip Pullman. To help us understand the events in the story and explore character's emotions, we completed a range of drama activities to consider their thoughts and feelings. Some of the activities included hot seating, role play, thought tracking, freeze frames and conscience alley.
Locks and Keys
Within our PE lessons this term, we will be developing our communication skills and strategical thinking through a range of games and activities. In today's lesson we completed an activity called 'Locks and Keys' where we had to solve a code by using a key and bringing our peers different items. As the items for the locks were shared, we had to be mindful of which were being used by others and which locks were free to 'unlock'. We had a lot of fun and were very warn out by the end of the lesson trying to unlock them all!
