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.

Exploring Symmetry Through Paper Folding
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.
Flapjack
Today in life skills they made flapjack
Straw houses
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.
P.e
Today in p.e they worked on their balancing skills and going round cones on their scooters
Writing
This term we are looking at The Three Little Pigs. They worked together to retell the story.
Exploring atlases and globes
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.

Planting our first seeds!
During the summer term, the children began by planting their first batch of plants, learning specifically about what happens when we plant broad beans and how to care for them as they grow. They listened carefully to instructions and worked thoughtfully throughout the activity. The session also linked to maths, as the children counted how many plant pots they used and measured out scoops of compost for each one. After planting, they watered the pots, counting how many squirts each plant received. This hands-on experience not only introduced them to basic gardening skills but also supported their understanding of counting and following instructions. We look forward to planting more, including edible plants, as the term continues.
