It’s been a super creative week in 4 Blue, we’ve been creating not just in Learning Means the World but in English too. We’ve been tackling some Art during Learning Means the World this week and have been looking at Johannes Gutenberg and the invention of the printing press, discussing the mechanics of its use and doing some printing ourselves! Here are some of the pieces of artwork your children have created. 4 Blue have persevered, been innovative and resilient all week – well done 4 Blue!

This morning we had a visit from Reverend Ian at St John’s church. He talked about how God created people in his image. He talked about how people are special and how you see their images on coins etc. He then talked about how everyone is special, how we have to treat everyone with kindness and look after everyone.
This week we’ve been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10. After completing some tricky challenges in our books, we practiced our skills using some rounding games.
As part of our ‘Lightning Speed’ theme, the children in year 4 have researched, designed and created a prototype for their own communication device. They even created their own circuits to be used in their devices.
This week in year 4 we have been learning about ‘electricity’. The children have created their own circuits, recognising the equipment needed to successfully light up a bulb. As well as this, the children have completed an investigation into which materials are conductors and insulators.
