New Walk Museum – October 2024
During the autumn term, Year 4 students learnt about Ancient Egypt and had the opportunity to visit the fantastic Egyptian exhibition at New Walk Museum. They were able to recap prior learning from Year 3 by exploring fossils within the museum and were able to experience a workshop which explored Egyptian life, culture and rituals.
STEMazing – November 2024
During a pyjama day to raise funds for one of the school council chosen charities, Lily from STEMazing conducted one of her 4 fantastic sessions at school. During the sessions with her, we learnt about lots of different aspects of engineering including aerodynamics and structures.
World Book Day – March 2025
During our annual World Book Day celebrations, they explored performance poetry and experimented with intonation, volume and pace. The children wrote a range of poems that focused on different emotions as well as nature.
Farm Visit – March 2025
A group of children were selected to visit Farmer Barnes Dairy to understand more about where food comes from and what happens on a working farm. We enjoyed seeing the cows and learning about how they produce milk and how this can be used to make butter.
D&T in The Hob – March 2025
As part of our ‘Food’ D&T module, the children have practised chopping, grating and mixing various ingredients to create tasty dishes. The children practised making a meatball and mashed potato recipe before they designed and made our own recipe with a Greek twist.
