YEAR 4 BLOG

Mrs Southward is really proud of 4B for some amazing maths this week. They have been working really hard with column addition and subtraction. They have become super mathematicians, applying their knowledge to solve problems, including adding numbers with 2 decimal places.

Year 4 have been learning about the work that the charity CAFOD does around the world and learning about the faith of Islam.

We had a workshop in class to help us understand about the work of CAFOD. We also got together as a year group to learn about Islam and try some traditional food. Take a…

Blessed corridor took part in a carousel of Roald Dahl activities. In 4B classroom the children listened to an extract from The Magic Finger and built their own bird house for the Gregg family using different construction materials. 

Year 4 have finished their topic of Italy this week by comparing Italy to the UK. 

In science this week year 4 pretended to be particles in the 3 states of matter. We found out that the particles in a solid are all squashed tightly together, in a liquid they stay together but they flow and in a gas they are spread out with lots of space.

Year 4B had a great day taking part in lots of maths challenges for NSPCC number day. Mrs Southward was very impressed with the effort everyone had gone to with their maths day clothes. Numbers on football shirts, a compass jumper and lots of home made outfits!

This week year 4 made their own pizzas! The children had researched different types of pizza, found out about Italian pizza making and then used all their new knowledge to make their own. The children really enjoyed being Italian chefs for the day.

Year 4 have been learning about states of matter in science. This week we continued our learning about evaporation and condensation. We did some investigations to explore water evaporating and then looked at how the gas changes back into a liquid. We also found out about the water cycle.

4B have been so busy this week. To help us with our map drawing we went for a walk around the area local to school to spot street names and features. We then drew our own route maps when we got back to school. 

As part of our RE this half term, Year 4 visited Church to have a look at what is used in a Baptism in church. They very much enjoyed their visit and were pleased to get back into church again after so long.

Year 4 finally made it to Brockholes for the long awaited trip! 

We enjoyed a walk to the forest, mini beast hunting and bird watching as well as eating our lunch with a fantastic view.

Take a look at the pictures to see what we got up to!

As part of our Italy topic we are going to be making our own pizzas. This week we evaluated some existing products. We wrote about the appearance, smell, taste and texture of different pizzas.
