together, we flourish

 

Welcome to Kingfishers - Year 4

 .

We had a fantastic meadow walk looking at the wild flowers and drawing them.

Class 4 acted out the ‘Ring of Fire’ – we made our volcanoes erupt!

We had a great launch to our “Minety Enrichment Passport” with a visit from a pilot and some air stewards.

Class 4 had a great time learning all about rocks!  We investigated the properties of rocks from their appearance and by testing hardness and permeability.

Class 4 enjoyed their ‘Roman Feast Day’ and proudly showed off their shields – they were well-protected against the enemy!

Class 4 enjoyed our History Day and learnt about Eilmer the Flying Monk!  We tried to measure how far he flew and ran around imagining how long he was flying for.

The children have been busy using manipulatives to help them subtract 3-digit numbers from 3-digit numbers with exchanging.

We have been investigating light.

We have been looking at shadows in science.

We enjoyed learning about the Hajj and making collage pictures of the ‘journey’

Class 4 had a wonderful trip to Westonbirt Arboretum – they created lots of natural sculptures and had fun in amongst the trees!

Class 4 went for a walk to the Mullen’s wildflower meadow.  We spent time examining and sketching the flowers/plants that we found.  We had a lovely time. Many thanks to Evie and Mr & Mrs Mullen for allowing us to do this.

We loved meeting the lambs which were kindly brought into school by Miss Davies Upsall.

 We baked cookies (in our pyjamas!) for Comic Relief!

We have been making  jungle - inspired collage by Henri Rousseau's 'Surprised!' using paper materials.

‘We used oil pastels to create a Bronze Age settlement!’

Class 4 produced their own cave paintings – thinking about how life was in the Stone Age and how they could represent this.  We then attached these to the ceiling of our classroom – so it really looks like a cave!

Through the Ages - For our engagement day we dressed as archaeologists and carried out a dig! We found lots of interesting objects from the Stone Age.

Class 4 have enjoyed learning all about the myth of Daedalus and Icarus.  We have written diary entries and made a pair of wings!
