This week year 4 have written their own cultural story based on 'Moana'. They explored cultural features and created their own ideas based on her adventures. The children showed great creativity and enthusiasm in their writing! We have had an excellent and busy half term and the children have shown great resilience. We look forward to the next half term!

The children have settled in well and they have had a great first full week back!
We have been very busy starting our new topic 'Electricity' in science. The children explored new vocabulary linking to the topic and had to find the definitions for different key words. Also, the children looked at different electrical appliances and sorted them into whether they are mains powered, battery powered or both.

This week, Year 4 have practised different sculpting techniques in art using salt dough, which they will use when they create their own Greek Theatre Masks. The children were then able to apply the techniques to create recognisable forms.

This week, Year 4 have been very busy in science. The children explored different circuits and had to identify and predict whether the circuit would work or not and explain why. They had the opportunity to make the different circuits, to test to see whether their predictions were correct.
