There were some interesting characters in Year 4 today. Can you guess the character?

Year 4 have been testing a range of materials to find out if they are a conductor or insulator of electricity. 
 

Year 4 have been learning about how to create an electrical circuit. 
 

The theme for internet safety day this year was, ‘All the fun and games’. Year 4 worked in teams to design and make an online game designed for children to teach them about playing games online safely. 
 

Year 4 have been learning about ABBA in music. They are learning the lyrics to Mama Mia and enjoy a little bit of boogie while they sing a long. 
 

Year 4 have been learning now to use coordinates to find the exact location of places around the world. They used an atlas to find the latitude and longitude coordinates. 
 

Year 4 have been learning about different strategies to use to carry out diving calculations. Today they chose use a strategy of their choice. 
 

What a lot of skills Year 4 used today when making those Christmas Wreaths.
 

We all enjoyed some Christmas crafts whilst listening to classic Christmas tunes. 
 

We all had a go at pond dipping. We disturbed the riverbed to release invertebrates then captured a sample of the water so that we could make observations of any living organisms. We then used the scale to determine how fresh and unpolluted the water in the River Ehen is. 
 

We made very detailed observations of a section of the River Ehen so that we could make a technical drawing of the area using map symbols. 
 

We had to make a river using only the natural materials that could be found lying on the ground. We then had to include as many features as we could and label our river. There was lots of discussion using all the technical vocabulary we have been learning in school.
