Year 4 have had a great start to their art week! We have been using chocolates to create observational drawings. We used different shading techniques to represent light and shadow. 

There are more photos of the fabulous artwork in the photo album. 

Year 4 have been on a walk to Hanley Park to explore the different trees in our local area as part of our science topic. The children collected a variety of leaves, which they will classify in their next lesson. The children had a great time collecting as many different leaves as they could! There are more photos in our photo album.

In Computing this week, Year 4 have been investigating the internet and learning more about how it works. Using iPads, they explored a variety of websites to discover information, practise their search skills, and think about how the internet helps us find what we need. More photos are in our photo album.

Over the last term, Year 4 have been working alongside PiCL on an art project. The children have worked with artists to develop their own stories, create set and character models and now they are beginning to turn these into an animation using cameras to take pictures. We are looking forward to continuing the project over the next term and seeing how our animations develop. - See our photo album for more photos.

In Science this half term, we have been investigating solids, liquids and gases. The children have enjoyed exploring the different properties. The children have also been using their scientific skills of predicting, observing and evaluating changes that take place! See the photo album for more pictures!

Over this year, Year 4 are completing an art project with a company called Letting in the Light! To support our research for the project, we went on a trip to the Wolesley Centre. We did lots of fun activities like building dens, making bug hotels and singing around the campfire. See the photo album to see some pictures from our trip

Last week, Year 4 were visited by the Animal Menagerie to support our Geography topic on the rainforest. We had lots of fun learning about, looking at and touching different animals from rainforests across the world. The children were very brave too holding some of the reptiles! See the photo album to see some pictures from our workshop.
