Geography: Volcanoes
We have been learning about volcanoes in geography. We began by looking at Mount St.Helens in North America and the effects of its eruption. Surprisingly, there are benefits to living near a volcano and we included these on our volcano diagram - as well as negatives!
Amazing Islamic inspired geometric art!

British Science Week: Investigating The Effect of Exercise on Heart Rate
Today we worked in groups to measure how different exercises affected our heart rate. We recorded our results and used them to produce a fitness programme. The fitness programmes had to meet a specific goal. Some great team work and investigative science workš¤©

Science: Investigating Adaptation
Today we undertook an investigation into how animals adapt to their environment. We decorated lollipop sticks in different colours: half the class using very bright colours and half the class in dark colours. The lollipop sticks were hidden on the field and we had to hunt for them. We then put them in order of how quickly they were found and looked for conclusions.

Evolution & Adaptation
Today we started our new Science topic. We reflected on our learning from Year 3 and made a list of questions to find out more about fossils. We then used sources to try and find answers to our questions. We finished the lesson by playing a fossilisation game - trying to become a fossil against all the odds!

History: Which of King Henry VIII’s marriages was most significant?
Today we learnt about King Henry VIII and details of his marriages. We then used a speaking frame to empathise with his wives, putting forward their case for why they are most important. Finally, we had to decide who we thought was the most significant of Henry’s wives.

PE Badminton Week 3: Lunges and Drop Shots
Computing: Coding
We planned and designed a video game based on the classic “Pong”. Our designs are themed but use the same elements of the original game. After importing our images as sprites and stage backgrounds, we begun to create algorithms. We created a set of instructions for each sprite as control commands.

Spoken Language: Comparing and Contrasting
Today in English, we watched a TV version of the story we have been reading: A Good Tip for Ghosts. We looked at the similarities and differences between the two and presented our findings as a Compare & Contrast speech. We focused on formal language, tone and cohesion.
