Y4 PE

Y4 have really made the most of the lovely weather this week. We have learnt how to throw a ball using an underarm throwing technique and an overarm throwing technique. We have also learnt how to bowl and bat ready for our rounders games next week.

The story of Pentecost

Year 4 have really enjoyed using their fantastic art skills to retell the story of Pentecost. They have captioned each part of the story, and retold this in an assembly. Year 4 have shown a tremendous amount of team work.

Amazing work from the Y4 class this week! We have shown real resilience when following instructions.

Volcanoes and earthquakes

Y4 have really enjoyed learning about volcanoes and earthquakes. We have used digital maps to locate volcanoes in China, and we have identified volcanoes that have erupted recently across the globe. Y4 have learnt about the role that tectonic plates play in causing earthquakes and volcanoes. Y4 have been particularly interested in tracking a drone that has captured volcanoes erupting.

Week 4 - volcanoes and earthquakes

Immersive days

Year 4 have loved our immersive days about our new topic China. We have broadened our experiences by trying Chinese foods, using chopsticks and writing opinions about the foods we've tasted. We have also made wall scrolls with traditional Chinese designs and Chinese writing on them, which are proudly hung in our classroom. We have used atlases and maps to locate China and cities within China.
