This week year 4 have completed another ‘Get Ahead’ challenge. They designed group murals based on the theme ‘Conservation’. Well done year 4.
We have had a great time celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! Lots of red, white and blue fun finished off with a lunchtime street party!
As part of our theme this half term, ‘Picture Our Planet’, the children have completed their own independent pieces of homework. Well done 4 Blue.
6 Red have begun our new LMTW theme, Global Warning!
As part of our topic, we explored the impact of pollution, specifically ocean pollutants.
We found out that oil and chemicals make up the largest proportion of ocean pollution, however it is difficult to remove from the sea once it has been contaminated.
During our investigation, we attempted to find the most efficient method of clearing the oil from the water.
Many of us hypothesised that the sponge would work the best, as it absorbs water, however we realised that water has smaller particles than oil.
In the end, believe it or not, our result found that a pair of nylon tights that attracted the oil and successfully separated it; we discussed that due to it’s similar properties, oil is attracted to nylon!
Yesterday afternoon, Year 4 answered the question ‘What is the commonwealth?’ Our year group choose Jamaica as our country to learn about. We looked at how Jamaica is part of the commonwealth and searched for Jamaica on Google Earth to see what it looks like.
In year 4, the children have been learning about the human and physical features of Brazil. As part of this, they have created information posters about Christ the Redeemer.
