Year 4 has had a great week filled with opportunities to design, investigate and actively participate!

In Science, they have planned and carried out an investigation, building on their existing skills of fair testing to find out how fast different liquids move. They thoroughly enjoyed getting their hands ‘dirty’ and completed learning of great quality.

In PE, they enjoyed yet another fantastic session with Coach Ben, putting their bowling and batting skills in practice playing continuous cricket. What runs!

In English, we carried on with our Stitch Head narrative and worked on our descriptions.

In computing, the children continued designing their Scratch projects whilst during drumming, we learnt the second pattern of our West African song.

We also introduced our last History unit of the year, the Tudors. Children knew a lot already and enjoyed learning about the details of the War of the Roses.

On Friday, the children joined Fr. Shaun, parents and the Church community to take part in the Blessed Sacrament procession. Thank you Fr. Shaun for the lollies, it was a lovely occasion.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Ms Varga and Mrs. McNamara

In the next 2 weeks, I would also like you to complete a Project Based Research to support our History unit of the Tudors.

Please create a non-chronological report using all features of the genre (heading, sub-heading, paragraphs, bullet points, diagrams, labels, captions, maps, keys) to present information on one or more of these areas:

  • Food and drinks in the Tudor times
  • Fashion
  • Tudor weapons and jewellery
  • Free time in the Tudor era
  • Schooling
