Willow Class - Year 4
Investigating liquids in science : we raced different liquids to see which one was the fastest and talked about their viscosity.
Making our revolting picnic and enjoying it at the field.
Creating our books and reading them to Reception
Enterprise Day
Chocolate workshop
Rainforest pictures: one animal 4 views. During our rainforest deforestation debates, we looked at how you can look at things from different points of view and created this art work to show this.
World Book Day. Just a few pictures from the day. The children who were not taking part in the tag rugby finals spent a fun morning turning potatoes into book characters.
Christmas party! We were having too much fun so unfortunately didn’t get many pics.
We looked at the different types of teeth then recreated an adult mouth whilst trying to shape the teeth like they are in our mouths. Then we investigated what different liquids could do to our teeth and looked at how to look after them. We wrote letters to the reception children to tell them how to keep their teeth clean and then they visited us and we read them to the children.
Exploring the digestive system: in science we recreated the digestive system using biscuits and bananas as food, the water as saliva and the orange juice as stomach acid. The plastic bag was the stomach and the tights were the intestines. The children explored how the food travelled through the digestive system and out the other end!
Ancient Egyptian Food Tasting. Today we sampled a few of the foods that the Ancient Egyptians are recorded as having eaten. We looked at paintings and other pictures to find other clues about their diet.
Christmas Jumper Day/Santa Dash. We all looked great in our festive hats and jumpers. We went on the playground to do warm ups to Christmas music before running around the playground a few times. The fun ended with a version of musical statues, where in teams, we had to make shapes with our bodies that were called out. Can you spot the turkey and a fantastic sleigh!
Mummies. Today we discovered how and why the Ancient Egyptians mummified their pharaohs. A pupil bravely agreed to be our “mummy” so we could learn about the different stages of the mummification process. We also had fun mummifying a tomato, to show us what happened to the Ancient Egyptian bodies. We will leave them in a warm dark place and not touch them until January!
Outdoor Learning. Our challenge today was to use sticks and other natural materials to build a square-based Egyptian-style pyramid. Lots of excellent team-work and perseverance was observed!
Outdoor Learning. Our first visit of the year to the forest was great fun. The weather was perfect. We explored our favourite places and played a few games.

Times Tables
These are links to time table songs that the children can use to learn their times tables. Get them moving around while they are singing as it all helps the times tables sink in.
