Year 4

In RE, Class 10 have been exploring what Christian's believe to be 'The Golden Rule' - treating others as you wish to be treated. 

We decided that everyone should follow that important rule, not just Christians. 

We created a poster to explain what the golden rule is, why it is important for…

Today in computing class 11 had fun working in pairs to write algorithms and improve an existing script in scratch.

Class 9 have been discussing the danger of drinking alcohol. 

We have worked in pairs to discuss scenarios where people may drink alcohol and discussed the risks.

Today, as part of our electricity topic we investigated conductors and insulators. 

We tested objects in a circuit to see if they conducted electricity. If the bulb lit up the material was a conductor.  

We talked about how materials that are insulators are very important to keep us…

Well done to class 10 who tested different objects to find out if they were conductors or insulators.

Class 9 enjoyed dressing up for Children in Need. We talked about why we donate money to Children in Need and who the money goes to. 

We are also very thankful to Mrs Rawlins’ friend Claire, who very kindly donated some scrunchies and bows for us to wear. 

Over the last few weeks some of construction club have been completing a Christmas advent calendar 1000 piece jigsaw.

They did very well and have completed it earlier than expected.

Well done.

In our science lesson this week we tested whether a lamp would light up when connected to different circuits. 

We made the circuits using light bulbs, wires and batteries and then explained why they did or did not light up. 

In RE, Class 10 have been thinking about why the Bible is important to Christians. 

We explored different versions of the Bible, before working in groups to order statements as to why it's important. 

Today we started our new topic in science. We are learning about electricity.

We looked at what electricity is, new vocabulary and symbols used to draw circuits.

We then played a game in pairs where we had to build our own circuits.

Class 9 have been discussing why the Bible is important to Christians.

We ranked different reasons in groups and picked our ‘Top 5’ reasons.

We then used oracy skills to feed it back to the class.

Class 9 have been learning all about Diwali and the story of Rama and Sita. 

This is a song about them.

We have also been looking at the meaning of light for Diwali and how lanterns and fireworks are used in the celebrations. 

Here are some of our firework pictures and lanterns we have…
