Year 4 Blog

Year 4 used an unusual resource in one of their Geography lessons recently to discover more information about countries in the Caribbean - Banana Boxes!  They learnt about the journey of bananas, from being picked at the plantation to the fruit being refrigerated and exported by ships to Britain, finally ending up in our supermarkets!  Next time you're in the supermarket check the boxes to discover where your bananas were grown!   Great learning Year 4!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 4 really enjoyed their topic on the Tudors.  When they were set a homework task to make a Tudor style house, the results were amazing!  You can see some of these fantastic models in the school entrance, as well as a variety of portraits of important Tudor people.   Mrs Blomeley

What fun Year 4 had creating some newly discovered creatures!  After learning about unexplained creatures, such as the Loch Ness Monster and the Yeti, we decided to create our own mysterious animals.  Ranging from fish to reptiles, some even a mixture of two animal types, Year 4 designed their models and planned how to make them.  They then spent a whole morning cutting, sticking and painting them.  Here are some of the results!  It was a great end to our "It's A Mystery" topic - fantastic work which was enjoyed by everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 4 are enjoying our current topic - It's a Mystery!  Our journey began when we used torches in our darkened classroom to recreate the conditions of a dark cellar and the discovery of a set of long forgotten images that had been left with a publisher; all with a title and a suggestive caption.   The Mysteries of Harris Burdick is a fascinating and unusual book which is providing endlesss opportunities for creative writing.  The children are also intrigued by our investigations into unexplained phenomena such as The Bermuda Triangle and the Loch Ness Monster.  Mrs Blomeley
