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. 

It was a beautiful crisp cold, sunny morning at Ennerdale. Year 4 were set various challenges to complete within their group, including finding invertebrates living on land, then had to take photographic evidence of their success. Some of the challenges were very difficult to…

Year 4 have had a productive morning applying and reinforcing their knowledge about rivers. They have been learning about the rivers in our locality and about the importance of protecting it has a habitat. 
 

Year 4 commemorated Remembrance Day by reading some war poetry. They then composed their own poem to express their gratitude to all those who made and continue to make sacrifices in wars. They then made their own poppy display sheet on which to present their poem. 
 

Year 4 enjoyed handling Anglo-Saxon artefacts, making observations to enrich their learning. 
 

Exploring the Hill Fort Castle.

Yum yum! Ice cream and fun in the sun. We loved meeting all the animals and especially the ferret race! 

We had lots of fun climbing, sliding and running. 

Year 4 are really enjoying developing the skills needed for cricket. They particularly enjoyed using their news skills to gain points in the game.
