March 21st 2024. Today we continued our investigation into electricity. The children were given the challenge to make circuits that worked and didn't work. If they didn't work, they had to explain why and what they needed to do to make it work. Good team work today!

22.1.24 Today in Science we investigated whether the size of our pinnae (outer ear) made a difference to how well we can hear. We even made our own ear trumpets to test our theory!
9.1.24 Today we asked ourselves the question, Why should we study Early Islamic Civilisation? The children considered a number of statements and graded their importance. There was a lot of meaningful discussion as to which were the most important factors which they recorded.
Year 4 have started our new topic Breaking Boundaries with an introduction into the Golden of Age Islam. We looked at pictures to see what they could tell us about life in Baghdad 900CE.

Friday 20th October. Today we used our pottery skills to create a bust of Julius Caesar.
National Week - We have had a busy week looking at British Values and the South East where we live. We have used evidence to draw a plan of what a Roman town would have looked like and identified Roman settlements on a map of the South East. We have baked delicious rock cakes and even had a go at Maypole dancing!
~ Autumn Term, Week 2 ~
We have had a very exciting history lesson and we are invested in investigating questions about the Roman Empire. This weeks question was, 'Should the Celts defend against the Romans?' The children had goes at spying on the Roman army and creating an image of what they saw - armor, weapons, training and organisation The children decided the Celts should not battle the Romans, they were too strong for them!
