Mental Health Week 6th -10th February 2023

During Mental Health Week, the year 4 children considered the importance of making connections. In assembly, the children were introduced to the poem 'Together' by Matt Goodfellow. On a nature walk around the school swale, the children connected with nature using their senses and learnt that this is good for improving wellbeing. Later in the week, the children enjoyed time with their twinned classes, building on the connections they have previously made. 4 Wiltshire twinned with 1 Kusama, showing the year 1 children the yoga poses they have been learning in PE this term. 4 Fraser shared books with the year 2 children and 4 Milhazes had a lovely time working as a team with R Hepworth creating a very long paper chain.

Symbolism

Last week in Art, the children learnt about symbolism. They collected pieces of nature such as leaves and twigs and printed these using charcoal. Inspired by nature, they then created their own pieces of artwork in the symbolist style using charcoal.

Science

The children in year 4 are currently learning about sound in science. This week, the children explored pitch and enjoyed making and testing their own set of pan pipes. They considered how to make sounds with a range of pitches for their pan pipes. They also discovered the factors which effect the note pitch on different instruments.

During the course, the children considered the best types of clothing and footwear for cycling and learnt how to check their bikes. They also completed a variety of tasks including practising emergency stops and riding their bikes in a controlled manner as directed by their instructors.
