Wartime Sponge Cake

We looked at the basic wartime recipe for a sponge cake and discussed the utensils and skills required to make the cake. We practised creaming margarine and sugar, cracking an egg and mixing the ingredients together. We had a great time!

Digestive System

We had great fun doing a demonstration of the digestive system in our science lesson today. We used a plastic bag as a mouth and a stomach, imagined the food going down the oesophagus and then used some tights as the intestines. We enjoyed seeing the journey food goes on and getting a bit messy!

Debating Practice

In preparation for No Pens Day, which we are celebrating in a couple of weeks, we practised our debating skills in class. We took some time to formulate our arguments and then in our groups presented our ideas to the class. It was a good chance to develop our public speaking and our confidence.

Remembrance Day

Year 4B did a fantastic assembly all about World War Two and the importance of Remembrance Day. They learnt their lines, sang beautifully and told us lots of interesting information. Well done!

Ink Printing

After designing a tile to make a print pattern, we made a final design and did our final printing pattern in our art books. We tried to make them symmetrical and used bright colours to make them stand out. We took our inspiration from the work of William Morris. We think they turned out really well!

October, Month of the Holy Rosary

Mrs Guina, an expert in praying the Rosary, taught our class a bit more about why the Rosary is important and how to pray using the Rosary beads. We prayed a decade together in class.

People - Respond Lesson 

In this topic, we have been remembering, celebrating and responding to our family trees and the family of God in Scripture. During our Respond lesson, each table took a different section from Gather, Listen to the Word, Respond and Go Forth in Mission. We then carried out the session together.

Block Printing

Today, Year 4 practised their block printing in preparation for their final piece next week. We had already created our template out of polystyrene and then used acrylic paint to create a repeated pattern. We learnt that we will need to use a little less paint and press our design into our tile more but overall we were very happy!

Invertebrates Hunt

Year 4 had a great Science lesson learning about the different types of invertebrates. We then used classification keys to identify the different invertebrates we could find in the local environment. We found lots of different invertebrates, for example, ants, slugs, snails and spiders!

Reasoned Rounding

Year 4 have been learning about rounding numbers. We played a game called Reasoned Rounding where the challenge was to round numbers and fill a circle before our partner did – we had a lot of fun!
