Year 4 Design Technology - Roman Sandals
We further developed our Roman sandal designs this week, and tried to really understand the purpose of shoe laces and how we can incorporate them into our designs. We managed to make paper sandals which actually fit on our own feet! Next week, we will be designing our final outcomes, using evaluations from our mock ups.
Year 4 - Smoothie Bike
Year 4 took part in a smoothie making workshop. They had to choose different fruits which they thought would taste nice together before adding yoghurt and honey and pedaling the bike to mix it all together.

Year 4 DT - Making Roman Sandals
This week in year 4, as part of our History topic and DT topic, we have made some 'mock-up' Roman sandals. We had to be very innovative in our thinking and some of us had to start over when we realised we could not get our feet inside! It was great fun, and we now have a good idea of what our real ones will look like.

Year 4 English - Writing and Presenting Stories
We have finally finished our unit on the Loch Ness! We have thoroughly enjoyed this unit, and wow, have the children produced some fantastic story outcomes from it! We were so proud of our stories, that we decided to type them up to put on display in school, and we worked hard on improving our typic skills in the process. We can't wait to find out what unit is coming next!

Year 4 Maths - Understanding Area
This week, year 4 have started to look at area. We discussed what area meant, and were impressed with Dylilah's answer of, "It's the whole inside of that board, I would cover the whole board to show the area." We used post it notes as squares to physically construct rectilinear shapes with different areas, before learning how to draw them in our books. Well done year 4!

Year 4 PE - Gymnastics
This week we started our new PE unit - gymnastics! We had a great lesson learning all about partner balances and how to travel and change between different types of balance. We had to trust our partner to hold our weight, and worked well in pairs to make great progress in our balancing!

Year 4 Holy Communion
On Tuesday this week, Year 4 joined Rev Kev and some of the local community in church for a communion service. We enjoyed singing the beautiful hymn chosen, and listened and thought reflectively about the words spoken in the service. We had written our own hymns and some of us read them out, while others read part of a Bible reading.
Fire Safety
A Home Office study has found that approximately 350 children are injured in accidental fires every year

Year 4 Maths - Calculator Work
This week, we learned how to use calculators to mark our own maths work. We really enjoyed doing this! Then, we used dice to generate our own questions, and used the calculator to mark those too!

Year 4 English - Role on the Wall
We have now moved on to our fiction section of The Loch Ness unit, and we have been looking at The Treasure of the Loch Ness Monster story. We thought about the characters of Ishbel and Kenneth, and used words to describe their characters, justifying with evidence.

Year 4 Music - Using Rhythm Grids
Year 4 have been working hard this half term on their ability to respond to rhythm. We have been experiments with different tempo, and this week we created our own rhythm grids using symbols as a code for which actions we wanted to do.

Year 4 Science
In science, we have been classifying animals based on their characteristics. We did this practically, using groups and keys, asking lots of useful questions to help us identify them.
