Year 4

 

Welcome to Year 4.

 Here are some of the thngs we have been doing in Year 4 recently

We had fun making monster eyeball buns today. We used chocolate icing and an eye shape on top of our bun. They were delicious!!

We are taking part in an experiment to see if the changes to our weather and seasons is affecting the growth of Spring Plants. We planted daffodil and Crocus bulbs on the 21st October alongside the pupils in P6 and many other schools throughout the UK. We will monitor these and upload our results to the Edina Trust. 

We took part in Maths Week Ireland. We took part in an Izak 9 challenge, we completed an online Maths quiz, took part in a Maths mystery challenge and worked in groups to solve problems. 

During our lessons on 3D shape we used marshmallows and coctail sticks to make 3D shapes such as cubes, cuboids, triangular prisms and pyramids. We counted the edges and vertices. 

Each week we take part in

Activity based Learning in groups. 

We have been making WW2 Models, Blitz pictures, Gas masks, WW2 Posters and completing experiments about Blackouts and Waterproof Materials. We are also learning how to use computer code to make a WW2 story. 

We have been using c2k Newsdesk.

We used it to learn about Autumn and then we watched videos and read information about life as an evacuee. 

As part of our work on time,

we went outside to the garden to make clocks showing the times we were given. 

We used our imagination and made some fantastic imaginative clocks using natural materials 

On Roald Dahl we went down to Irvinestown Library to listen to some stories and to look for Minibeasts. We will be reading Roald Dahl James and the Giant Peach after Christmas.
