Year 4 have been super active this half term, with coaches from Yorkshire Cricket Club, Wombwell Cricket Club and Barnsley Tennis Club all visiting us. Everyone has worked really hard, developing sporting abilities, really impressed all of the coaches, but most importantly, everyone's had loads of fun! Lots of children have also signed up to All Stars and Dynamos Cricket out of school, following these sessions. Keep active Y4, well done!

CRITICALLY ENDANGERED! A report for Sir David Attenborough

10/5/2021

0 Comments

This week our guided reading text was a biography from the David Attenborough book. We found out a lot about Sir David Attenborough's life and the amazing influence he has had on generations across the world.
We decided that he would be the perfect person to share information about an endangered animal with the world so we wrote a non-chronological report that he could read out on one of his shows, which would hopefully lead to changes to help the endangered species.
We researched the animal and organised our facts into paragraphs of background information, why the animal was endangered, why it was important that the animal did not become extinct and what could be done to help the animal.
Here are some examples of our completed work ready for Sir David Attenborough!

Endangered animals!

3/5/2021

As part of our High View Cares topic, we have been learning about endangered animals.
We have been reading a book called 'When the Mountains Roared' by Jess Butterworth. The introduction of the book uses great suspense to hook the reader in and we couldn't wait to find out what happened. We used the suspense features in our own writing to write our own version of an introduction to the story.
Can you spot our short sentences, rhetorical questions and use of emotions?

Today was Safer Internet Day! We had great fun taking part in the BBC Live Lesson and completing lots of activities all about staying safe online. Children in school and at home discussed and created 5 Golden Rules which we should all keep to keep ourselves and others safe when using the internet.

To celebrate Children in Need, Mr Crossley ​devised a 'Joe Wicks' style PE lesson for the whole school. There were different activities set up around the Courts for us to do in groups.
We had great fun doing them. 
Thank you Mr Crossley for doing this fun activity on Children in Need day.

Year 4 Remember

11/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Today, Wednesday 11th November, was Remembrance Day. We learned all about the importance of Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day and why we should remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom. We observed a 2 minutes silence and used our collage skills we have been developing in art to create or very own poppies, just like the ones in Flanders Field. These were then made into a wreath which we laid at the Cenotaph in the school library.

DESIGN TECNOLOGY FUN

5/11/2020

0 Comments

 
We have been exploring different techniques for making a collage in Design Technology. As a year group we are planning a Remembrance wreath collage showing a variety of techniques and textures. It is great fun playing with different materials and ways of composing our poppies for the wreath. In our designs and practise techniques we have used a range of colours, which have proved to be very effective. 
We are going to practise more before we decide on our own method and materials before we produce our final wreath collage.

Let's Get Physical...

Year 4 have also been working hard in PE. We have started to use hitting in a game with increasing control and accuracy, meanwhile learning to communicate with peers/team mates more effectively to contribute to a common goal. Children have quickly grasped lots of fundamental hockey skills and are applying this in game situations.

Roman Roads Revealed

18/10/2020

0 Comments

 
This week we have had great fun exploring Roman roads and we even made our own! 
We used sugar and oats to represent the sand and rubble, then we laid a layer of small stones (lentils) on top. After this, we used gravel (rice) to create the camber of the road, before laying smooth paving slabs (pasta)  on top. When our roads were complete with a ditch at each side, we used digital cameras and iPads to photograph them. We then annotated our cross sectional diagrams with each feature and the reasons why Romans needed roads.
