Year 4

In RE, Class 10 are continuing with our new unit of work, all about spirituality. 

Today we explored how some Christians can show spirituality through art. We discussed a variety of pieces of artwork, before creating our own.

Year 4 have really enjoyed their bikeability sessions. 

Some children were not able to ride at the start of the week and now can, and other children improved their technique. 

Class 9 have been looking at the effects of different substances on teeth. 

We left chalk in substances such as Coke and orange juice for a week before inspecting them under the magnifying glass. We then discussed our findings. 

Today in our fluency lesson we practiced reading and re-reading our text to develop our reading fluency. 

We practiced moving around where we paused and what words we stressed to see how it affected our sentences. 

In PSHE, we have talked about how to respond in emergency. 

We covered how to make an emergency call and what to say to the operator. 

We then discussed scenarios which do or do not require an emergency service.

Today, we used our oracy skills to discuss who was the greatest pharaoh was. 

We discussed biases that people may have such as gender, length of rule and level of fame. 

We then worked in trios to debate and Comte to our own conclusions.

What a fantastic experience.

The children had a stadium tour and the opportunity to play two new sports.

Class 11 enjoyed creating maps of our school using things they could find in the woods at Roundhay park.

Class 11 loved walking around tropical world and finding all the different types of animals that live in that climate.

We could link this back to our current topical or why jungles are so wet and deserts dry.

Class 9 enjoyed their time at Clip n Climb.

Over the two session they became more confident and resilient.

Class 11 enjoyed their visit to Armley Library.

Here are class 11 dissolving chalk in Science.
