DT in 2 Purple This Week

17th February 2023C Machin

2 Purple have had so much fun with our Land Ahoy! theme this week. We have been designing a remote control to help a pirate with one eye, a hook for a hand and a parrot on his shoulder!  First we drew the pirate that we were designing for. Then we had to design a remote control that would help him with his everyday pirate life. The children came up with some fantastic ideas including a remote to find treasure, one  to protect them from sharks, one to alert them when other pirates are near and one to help calm him down when he gets angry.

2 Blue Pirate Design Project

17th February 2023H Campbell

This week in Learning Means The World, we have taken part in a week long design project. First, we analysed a pirate character and decided what his needs were. We then came up with ideas to create a remote contol to help him navigate the stormy seas and other problems he faces. Our designs had all kinds of imaginative, magical buttons. Our final design step today was to make the remotes and evaluate our outcome.

Year 4 Showing Resilience in Jigsaw.

15th February 2023L Davison

In Jigsaw, we have been learning about how to deal with difficult situations. Whilst it is always wonderful to achieve our dreams, it is not always possible. We learned that it is important to be resilient and show a positive attitude when facing disappointment. As part of the challenge  we entered the ‘Funniest Potato Competition’, working as part of a team, designing and creating our funny potato.

Here’s what we achieved!

 

Year 4’s Rocking Assembly

15th February 2023L Davison

This morning, Year 4 took to the stage to show off all that they have learned about rocks and fossils during their ‘Rocky the Findasaur’ theme. They learned about different types of rocks and soils and how they make up the layers of the Earth. They also learned about the pioneer, Mary Anning and her incredible discovery of the ichthyosaur fossil. She led the way not just for paleontologists but for the recognition of women as scientists too.

Well done Year 4 you did a fantastic job!

Fun in French with Year 4!

10th February 2023Miss L Robinson

4 Red have been enjoying learning their numbers in French this term through a variety of games. Playing games allows the children to develop their speaking and listening skills in a fun way. Year 4 have been revising their numbers to 21 playing the traditional “goose game” jeu de l’oie as well as the well known game ‘connect 4’.

Can we problem solve? Yes we can!

[Year 4 have been busy problem solving in Maths this week. They needed to use their multiplication knowledge to help them arrange four numbers (1, 2, 3 and 21) on a grid to make a diagonal, vertical or horizontal line. They could only put a number card on a square with a multiple of that number or factor of that number. The children really enjoyed solving this problem, finding as many different ways as they could. Well done Year 4!
