In Year Four we have been making ‘slingshot’ cars. We built a wooden chassis and launch mechanism and then designed and assembled our own car body. The children have worked so hard and are very proud of their finished products. Now to test them out…….!
Today, Year 4 have enjoyed a practical investigation into area and perimeter of rectilinear shapes. They explored how to make the biggest and smallest perimeters using ten squares but discovered that the area would always remain the same!
Love was in the air at our Valentines Day Discos.
On Thursday 1st February, Year 4 visited the Discovery Museum in Newcastle. We spent the morning exploring the museum and then took part in a fantastic workshop to find out more about sound and how it travels. We had lots of fun and learned so much about our current science topic!
Today, Year 4 completed the cladding on their pavilions. It was a tricky job but the final models look great!
As part of our invasion games topic this half term, Years 3 and 4 have developed their teamwork and communication skills. Both classes have worked hard to develop their throwing and catching, attacking and defending skills in a range of team games and have also looked at different ways to move with a ball.
Year 4 are at the next stage of designing their pavilions! Today they built and reinforced the structures of their buildings!
This afternoon, Year Four began their new Design Technology. They have been tasked to build a strong, stable pavilion for an exhibition. Today, we started by experimenting with different structures using matchsticks and clay!
