Year 4’s ‘Awareness Video’ about Sumatran Tigers, by Mrs Hover

Date: 19th Dec 2016 @ 8:49pm

Please look at our video called, ‘Would it be OK…?’ about the plight of Sumatran Tigers.  They are critically endangered and we wanted to educate people so this beautiful animal doesn’t become extinct.  We worked in pairs thinking about the ‘voice’ of the tiger and then created powerful questions based upon their threats.

Year 4 - Animals in Captivity, by Mrs Hover

Date: 7th Dec 2016 @ 8:38pm

In Literacy, we read the poem ‘My Mother Saw a Dancing Bear’ by Charles Causley.  Then, we used noun phrases, expanded noun phrases and powerful verbs to describe the life of a dancing bear and the life of a bear living in its natural habitat (David Attenborough film clip).  Finally, we wrote from the viewpoint of the ‘dancing bear’.

Year 4 Drama, by Mrs Hover

Date: 25th Nov 2016 @ 8:30pm

WALT use drama to explore animal extinction and animals living in captivity

Today we moved on to look at animals because animals were traditionally used in circuses.  In an exciting drama lesson with Mrs Baillie, we explored the movement and posture of different jungle animals creating ‘The Futuristic Museum of Extinct Animals’.  Next, we created ‘The Live Jungle’ soundscape where we started off as trees and then some children changed into animals, whilst other children became poachers.  Canes were used by the poachers to create a cage and the trapped animals were given ‘human voices’ to describe how they would be feeling.

Year 4 have worked really hard over the last few weeks, learning about the proportions of the face and using observational drawing to focus on individual features of the face.  They have learned more about self-portraiture, Pierrot and French artists who paint scenes from the circus.

European Day of Languages, by Mrs Hover

Date: 29th Sep 2016 @ 6:47am

On Monday 26th September, Year 4 spent the morning celebrating 'European Day of Languages'.  Activities included using atlases to find the outline of different European countries and matching countries to their flags.  In groups, the children researched either Scotland, Germany, Italy, Spain or Poland looking at capital cities, population, famous landmarks, food... creating an information board on their findings. They then presented their European countries to the rest of the class.  

On Tuesday, the children thoroughly enjoyed learning some Polish from Franek.  Franek taught us lots of words, read to us in Polish and shared some tongue twisters which were really funny!

Circus pictures - Leon and the Place Between, by Mrs Hover

Date: 15th Sep 2016 @ 8:43pm

Our classroom was transformed into a circus! There was music, incense, fairy lights, popcorn, candyfloss, images of the ‘Big Top’, acrobats, clowns, a white rabbit coming out of a top hat, a ringmaster, clowns on stilts and a lot more! In groups we wrote down what we could see, hear, smell and taste using expanded noun phrases.

On Monday we walked along the Sandstone Trail from Beeston to Burwardsley. At Burwardsley we made clay pots, string just like the people from the Iron Age did. We were archaeologists, digging for artefacts, finding out about the past. The Roundhouse we explored was made as a replica using the same type of tools used in the Iron Age.
