Nightlights: The children in year 4 created nightlights using their knowledge of circuits and switches. They all designed different nightlights, created and then evaluated them.
This term year 4 have been learning about the different states of matter. They were exploring different materials and sorting them into solids, liquids and gases based on their previous knowledge and similarities between materials.

Year 4 were studying London and comparing this urban area with more rural areas. We went to Terling (a village in Essex) to study the similarities and differences compared to London. The children had fun and were amazed that Terling’s only General Practice was combined with a cafe.

The children had great fun, unpicking the text and freeze framing (acting out) their understanding of this fantastic poem.
Can you guess which photo matches which line from the poem, ‘Billy’s Coming Back’.
Here are the lines:
And now like a bomb, no one dares defuse
policemen are beating a swift retreat
teachers’ faces deepen with gloom
Year 4 were really shocked to see how liquid, when heated up, turns into a gas (evaporation), and how when the gas cools down, it turns back to a liquid. These complicated scientific concepts were shown through everyday items – a kettle and a cool window! Ask your child all about this exciting learning.
Tower Of London
Year 4 visited the Tower of London. They were able to explore the inside of the White Tower, look at the crown jewels and learn the history behind the tower.
Peter Bunzl was really impressed and over the moon. A child designed and created at home her own version of Malkin, the mechanical fox, from the class’ love of reading book.
The children had great fun exploring which products were liquid and which were not. They then worked out how the liquids behaved differently, focusing on how quickly they flowed, using scientific apparatus.
