We went on a walk around our school environment to observe signs of autumn. We discussed the weather, the changes we could see to the trees and we also discussed the warm clothes we were wearing. We noticed lots of the trees in our school grounds had started to change colour, and the leaves had…

Today in computing we used the programme word. We used the different tools to edit our writing changing the size, colour and style. 

This week year 4 had the opportunity to create their very own clay tiles. We had a wonderful time discovering the process of how clay tiles are made. Some of us even went back to visit with our family later the same day. We were very proud of how year 4 represented waterside! Well done Year…

Today we were very lucky to get the chance to visit an art exhibition at the local church, the children saw a range of winning art pieces that had been inspired by things like whale bones and sound. The children were then very lucky because they got to create their own tile that had seeds mixed…

Today we had great fun, making dens!  We worked in teams to plan and build our dens. We had to think carefully about what would be the best location, what we needed, how to build it and what would offer us the most protection from the rain. 

Storm Babet hit us this week making it a little wet and windy to go outdoors so instead we had a craft session. We used conkers to make patterns and leaves to create hedgehogs. We enjoyed rolling the conkers to make patterns, do you like them?

The children worked in teams today to build a den, they had to think carefully about how they were going to build their den and what offered the most protection, if it rained. Super team work by all - well done!

This week we have been busy competing in the official Stoke-on-Trent TTRockstars competition against other schools in the city. We have been playing during our arithmetic time and some of us have been extra busy at home too. Winners will be announced next week!

This week we have illustrated our jabberwocky poems using the medium of charcoal. We have thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with charcoal and have produced some fantastic pieces of art. Well done Year 4!

We have been exploring different ways to make sounds with our bodies! We cam up with tapping, stomping, clapping, patting and much more! 

We have loved making the sounds together and exploring loud, quiet, fast and slow. 

We then used a steady beat to create movement to the music, we used…

Today we enjoyed using the charcoal to create 3D shapes and shadows. We drew the outline of the shapes and used smudging to create shading. We got very messy but we were so proud of the end results!

Today in maths we have looked at finding the common multiples of numbers, as you can see even when we get things wrong we don’t give up, we try again until we figure it out. We’ve also introduced the idea of the ‘lowest common multiple’ and how we can find patterns in sequences to help us find the…
