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!
And then there was light!
Marble Mania!
Last week the children had a fantastic day taking part in our forest school day! Throughout the day, they took part in a number of different activities such as learning how to measure trees, a scavenger hunt and orienteering. All the activities ensured the children worked well as a team, by using their listening and communicating skills. Fun was had by all and the teaching team were very proud of the children!

Over the past two weeks in Year 4, we have been learning about Ancient Greece in History. In our lessons we have been looking at architecture, looking at the three different columns used in buildings and understanding why they are used. The children thoroughly enjoyed creating the columns (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) using plasticine!

We have really enjoyed teaching the Year 4 children this year. Highlights have included our 3 days at Juniper Hall, visiting the Science Museum, Hampton Court, Putney Arts Theatre and dressing up as Romans and Greeks. The children have loved our class books and have just enjoyed the emotional ending of There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom. We wish all the children and their families a restful and enjoyable summer. Good luck in year 5!
Our week has been dominated by our design and technology project; creating pages for a pop-up version of Leon and the Place Between. The children learnt new skills in creating levers and linkages with fixed and loose pivots before designing and creating their own page based on this magical book.
Year 4 have had a wonderful chance to perform on a stage this week as each class has spent a day at Putney Arts Theatre with the Group 64 team. The day culminated in a magical performance for parents.
We had a royal day out at Hampton Court this week where we discovered more about the life of Henry VIII. We explored the Great Hall, the Great Watching Chamber, the Council Chamber, the Chapel and his magnificent kitchens which served 600 courtiers every day for lunch and dinner.
