Year 4

The final part of our Design and Technology project was to use their new sewing skills and knowledge to solve the problem of how to stop a tea-towel from slipping off a hook. They used a template and different sewing techniques to make a hanger for a tea towel. 
 

Today, Year 4 participated in the Earthsong Project ‘River of Life’. This is a local arts project; a celebration of the river and our connection with the environment. A local composer (Dave Camlin) worked with Year 4 to generate ideas and lyrics for a song to be performed at Longlands Lake on…

Y4 have had a wonderful day celebrating our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. They created collage portraits of the Queen and then they joined with the rest of the school to enjoy a traditional street party with ice-cream, picnic and music and dancing on the yard.

Keeping fit by practising maintaining a constant pace for a mile after some running drills to develop good posture and range of motion. 
 

Lots of fun was had when Year 4 used everyday items to construct the digestive system. Do you know how long it takes for food to travel through your digestive system? 
 

Year 4 have been ‘rocking and rolling’ numbers live with Baz each morning. We even got a shout out! 
 

What fun was had re-enacting some battle tactics! 
 

Year 4 learned about weaving and then made a small covering.

Year 4 learned about how natural materials were used to write. They then made their own ink and used a quill to write messages using runes. 
 

What a great experience! Year 4 learned all about how coins were used during the Anglo-Saxon and Viking times then they designed and made their own coin. 
 

Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic afternoon at a football tournament at St. Benedict’s School today. They enjoyed practising all the skills they have been learning in PE with our football coach.⚽️⚽️⚽️
 

As part of of our D&T project, Year 4 have been learning about different fastenings. They have all learned how to sew a button, a press stud and a zip onto fabric using different stitching techniques. A very useful life skill to possess.
