Year 4 Art
This week, we finished our second novel of the year - The Danger Gang! As our art unit is about drawing stories, we decided to illustrate out favourite moments from the book, and add a catchy caption. There were some excellent captions and sketches by all of the children.
Breakfast Club
In the Breakfast club we made brick towers bigger than a year 5 child and played Guess Who Games . We had lots of fun.

Year 4 Geography
As part of our Amazon Rainforest studies, we used our knowledge of infographics to create one based on the Amazon! We learned a lot about how we might improve the quality of our information and how it is presented, and we can't wait to use these skills in our Nessie infographics in English!

Year 4 Drawing and Sketching
This week, year 4 have used sketching pencils in different grades to sketch everyday objects around the classroom. We looked at six different shading skills and then used these on our own sketches. We particularly liked the ink shading with a 6B pencil.
Year 4 Fundamentals
This week, Year 4 worked hard on their balancing skills in PE. We learned how to pull in the core to balance, and completed a range of activities which required balancing in different ways. We worked so well in teams!
Year 4 Geography
Our Geography unit for this half term is The Amazon Rainforest. We used an atlas to locate the Amazon Rainforest and its key features, also looking at the countries surrounding it. We revised our knowledge of the 7 continents of the world, and identified them on a non-labelled map. We had great fun searching the atlases for rivers, mountains and cities!
