In RE today, Year 4 learnt about the events of Holy Thursday: The Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane and Peter's Denial. We thought about the different things that happened and why they happened. We also thought about how the different people in each event would have felt and reacted. 

We…

We freeze framed scenes from Jesus' return to Jerusalem. 

Can you spot Jesus? The crowd? The political and religious leaders? Not everyone was happy about Jesus' return. 

Year 4 had a fantastic term last half term and earned our treat of baking! 

We linked it to our topic of USA Road Trip as well as Shrove Tuesday. As a result, we made delicious American style pancakes from scratch! 

We had to measure out all our ingredients and work as a team. It was so much…

We learnt about The Mystery of incarnationand that it means Jesus is truly human and truly God. 

We looked at some artwork which showed this. We thought about how the artist showed Jesus as God but also as a human. We also discussed what we liked and didn't like about them. 

We used these…

It's been another creative (and noisy!) day in Year 4. We have been busy making panflutes from plastic barrier pipes. We've had to use maths skills for measuring and DT skills for sawing. Not only that, but we've had to combine it with our knowledge of sound and what we discovered about pitch from…

Here are our final pieces!! We are so proud of them. Can you recognise anywhere? We've got Mount Rushmore, The Golden Gate Bridge, the White House, Yellowstone National Park, Niagra Falls, Hoover Dam, The Statue of Liberty, Route 66, The Grand Canyon, The Empire State Building and the Hollywood…

We have had a very busy day in Year 4 putting our art and DT skills to work. We designed and turned shoeboxes into amazing landmarks from the USA linking to our topic of Road Trip USA. We have measured, cut, used saws and glue guns, done sewing, used a whole range of resources and different paint…

We spent time creating fractions to solve our investigation, we used these fractions to make different mixed numbers. We had to think about how to add mixed numbers which really challenged us. 

We spent some time creating fractions and using these to solve our investigation - we had to think really hard about how to add mixed numbers. 

After we had learnt what types of instruments produced different pitches, we created our own pipes using straws. We had to cut them different lengths to ensure the pitch was different to our partners. 

We had a great afternoon learning all about the Iroquois Tribe as part of our Road Trip USA topic. We spent time listening to some traditional Native American music. We thought about the meanings behind them, what we liked and what we didn't like. We also compared it to modern music today. We then…

We had lots of fun acting out the story from the Bible where Jesus calls the disciples to become fishers of men!!
