Last week we visited Putney Arts Theatre to put on a play in a day. The children manipulated  props and their bodies in space ,to create creatures and conjure the magic found in the book 'Leon and the Place Between'. They each had speaking lines to narrate the story and even had the opportunity of improvising their own scenes.

Over the last couple of weeks, the children in Year 4, have been learning about angles. During their lessons, we have discussed what right angles, obtuse angles and acute angles are! We then made our learning interactive and memorable by taking the children outside to give them the opportunity to draw a range of angles and order them. 

Michael Rosen inspired poetry. 

Over the last couple of weeks, in science, the children have been learning about how to keep teeth healthy! We have discussed how certain types of food can lead to cavities and to support the children's understanding we have set up an investigation using eggs. The shell of an egg is made from a similar substance as enamel, and we are looking forward to seeing if there are any changes in the eggs' shell which have been put into jars of water, vinegar, coca-cola and coffee! What do you think will happen?

We have started learning all about the digestive system in Year 4 and thoroughly enjoyed making replica mouths out of marshmallows. Children learnt that the digestive system starts with our teeth, the names of the teeth and where our food travels and how fast! Did you know it takes 6 seconds for your mouthful of food to reach your stomach? We are all looking forward to the Science Museum trip and 'It Takes Guts' show later in the term. 

Over the last two weeks, the children have thoroughly enjoyed learning about sound in science. They have taken part in investigative activities, in order for them to understand how sound travels through different states of matter!
