Year 4 wrapped up their science this year with an investigation. We tested whether it was safer to wear a seat belt or not by using crash test dummies and cardboard box cars.

Year 4 had a great time making (and tasting) pizzas today as part of their D&T topic. I was really impressed with how well everyone organised themselves and carefully followed their recipes. Here they are in action, along with the finished projects:

Year 4 were on top form today for their Hawaii day! They all looked great in their colourful clothes. We spent the day making leis (flower necklaces), trying some local food and drink and playing loads of Hawaiian games. Here they are in action:

A huge well done to Year 4 for their performance this morning. Everything came together fantastically well and they have deservedly received lots of compliments. Here they are in action:

Year 4 have been studying David Wiesner’s book ‘Flotsam’ over the last few weeks. As this is a picture book, Year 4 wrote their own version of the story as a class. They have since narrated their story to create an audio book.

This is 100% their own work, everyone has been involved and they recorded it in one take!!

Enjoy!

A big thank you to Mr Youson for editing the video and audio.

Year 4 – Geography – Hawaii day!

Aloha,

This half-term, Year 4 have been learning about Hawaii in geography. To round off the topic we will be having a day celebrating Hawaii’s culture. The children have come up with a range of ideas for the day which include:

• Tasting some of the local food
• Playing some of the popular games/sports
• Hawaii themed arts and crafts.

The Year 4 ‘Hawaii day’ will be on Thursday 13^th July. The children can come to school in non-uniform, Hawaiian themed clothes if possible. Also, please could children bring a pair of flip flops with them (separate to the trainers or shoes that they will wear) so that they can take part in the popular Hawaiian game ‘flip flop flipper’ (this is not essential so please do not worry if they don’t own a pair).

Finally, please inform us of any food allergies so that this can be taken into account when making and tasting some of the local food.

Aloha,

Mr Marsh
