Can you believe that we are over halfway through the academic year?  Term 4 is a very busy term, with lots of fun events including our visit to Kench Hill and our Egyptian day.

Here is an overview of the term:

Here are our KIRFs to learn:

We used drama to help us to explore our book ‘The Explorer’.  We used these ideas to help us write our diary entries in the role of the characters.

As part of our third wellbeing task day, the children in year 4 taught each other different skills that they had.  This included sign language, football skills, handshakes and many more.  The children also taught year 2 how to use TTRS for the first time.  We also followed an online tutorial to draw a cartoon character.

 

 

Our first task was to taste biscuits to decide what we liked and disliked about them.  We the looked at a simple recipe to make biscuits.

We carefully measured out our ingredients.

We then made the dough and baked it.

We then adapted the recipe to include additional ingredients such as marshmallows or chocolate chips.

We also designed and made packaging for our product.

Finally, it was time to taste our biscuits.

 

Welcome to Term 3.  Here is what we will be learning about this term:

Here are the KIRFs to practise and learn this term:

 

WAs part of our second task days for ‘6 Ways to Wellbeing’, we created Christmas cards for people within our community who might be alone at Christmas.  We wrote letters about what we have been learning at school. The focus for this session was ‘connect’.

We also drew pictures of the lighthouse as part of our learning about the marsh desert.

For the first time, year 4 sent Christmas cards to our link school in France.

We were really excited when we received replies on the last day of term!

We really enjoyed making paper lanterns for the parade.  We worked collaboratively on the trees and then each made our own baubles to add to the tree.

We enjoyed making Christingles for our church service on the last day of term.

 

Year 4 marked the start of the advent period with a wonderful service in church.
