Class 4 have been learning about the parts of a circle outside in the (somewhat chilly) sunshine 🌞. We then came in to the warm classroom and applied our knowledge to measuring. We now know how to find and measure the radius, diameter and circumference 😀
In class 4 we talked about which piece of fruit could represent each planet in our Solar System. After lots of discussions, we modelled the Solar System using fruit and....a toilet roll. Even though each piece of toilet paper represented 40 million km, our Solar System still stretched from one end of class 4, right out the door and along [...]

A couple of weeks ago we made periscopes that reflected light when we were investigating light. Today we moved on to thinking more about our eyes, so we transformed our first periscope into one that allowed us to see over and around objects.

In assembly this week, Mr Thomas has been talking about our SEAL topic ‘New Beginnings’ and how we can work as a team to support each other in our learning. As it was my first Friday with class 4 we decided to combine a 'new beginning' with a 'new' class 4 with the important team work skills that we talked [...]
As part of our end of term maths assessment, class 4 worked in groups to create a 3d world using their knowledge of nets. We had lots of different ideas including a representation of London, a stables, a campsite, Candy Land (inspired by Candy Crush I think...) and a land inspired by a computer game. The whole class had a [...]
