Today, Crew McLoughlin dove into the fascinating world of biology by creating our own visual life cycles. The students mapped out the distinct stages of growth and transformation, from prenatal to late adulthood.
Yesterday, Miss Newman’s maths groups recently deepened their understanding of lines of symmetry through a hands-on activity using various 2D shapes. By folding paper cutouts along potential axes, the students could visually test if the two sides overlapped perfectly, allowing them to accurately identify and count the lines of symmetry for each shape. This provided a clear, physical demonstration of geometric properties, helping the students to better grasp the concept of symmetry in practice.
Today in life skills they made flapjack
In writing today they made their own straw houses from The Three Little Pigs. They used clay, straw, and cardboard as the base. They had to use lots of different skills.
Today in p.e they worked on their balancing skills and going round cones on their scooters
This term we are looking at The Three Little Pigs. They worked together to retell the story.
This morning in year 4, we have explored how to use globes and atlases in our expedition lesson. We learnt how to look for different continents using the contents page of an atlas, how to use the index to find more specific information such as countries, towns and cities, and how to find continents and countries on a globe. We then compared the differences between globes and atlases, and found that atlases are easier to use as they give you more support in finding specific information.
