Our Harvest Celebration

We had great fun rehearsing and performing our Harvest Celebration, 'Project Planet'. We enjoyed practising the songs - we could often be heard singing on the playground and our voices carried down the corridors as we became more confident.

Autumn Term in Year 4 was an exciting time as the children settled into their new classes and got to know their new teachers.

Our Trip to Abington Park

We went to Abington Park Museum to understand more about how the Ancient Egyptians lived and the ceremony they held after someone died, which was called 'The Opening of The Mouths'. We listened to a Historian as they told us about the ceremony, and were then given parts to play within our re-enactment of the ceremony. We were also able to write our names in Hieroglyphs, using a wooden reed and ink just like the Ancient Egyptian scribes!

We each had our own role to play in our re-enactment of the Opening of the Mouth Ceremony.

We worked hard to write our names in Hieroglyphs. We used a wooden reed and ink - which was rather messy!

In DT this term, the year 4 children are enjoying using Lego Spike to create and program amusement park rides. This week the children accurately followed the building instructions to create teacup rides. After creating the original prototypes, the children experimented and upgraded their models. They also used their programming skills to change the coding to improve the teacup ride.

This week, year 4 have had a wonderful time taking part in poetry workshops with the Word Guerrilla. In the workshop, the children enjoyed using their own alphabets of animals to create and perform animal raps. The Word Guerrilla workshops have inspired the children to explore different forms of poetry and widen their vocabulary.
