Art- Animal Patterns

We have been learning all about animals with various patterns, including spots, stripes, scales and feathers. We carefully sketched our chosen animal's pattern before painting it with watercolours and adding some detail in fine liner to make it pop. Can you identify the animals by their distinctive patterns?

Art- Africa

To complete our African pattern unit, we designed our own African patterns. We sketched out our ideas before carefully carving our designs into styrofoam blocks using a sharp pencil. Finally, we painted on our colours and printed it onto white card. We are very happy with the results!

Art- Landmarks
Class 4 have been looking at the work of local artist Kate Lycett. We chose our favourite landmarks in Todmorden and had a go at creating our very own paintings inspired by her work. We worked incredibly hard and are very proud of the results.

Science- Digestive System

Class 4 have been learning all about the parts of the digestive system and how they work to convert food into energy. We tried an experiment to see the journey food takes through the body during digestion. Everybody had a go at playing a part in our mini digestive system!

Science- Electricity 

Class 4 have been enjoying learning all about electricity and how it works. We were set the challenge to create light using only a battery, a bulb and two wires. We had a lot of fun and managed to figure it out very quickly all by ourselves. We definitely have a few scientists in the making!

Christmas Decoration- Felting 

In the lead up to Christmas, Class 4 were very busy designing and creating our very own Christmas decorations made entirely of wool. We are so proud of our finished pieces and had a great time felting!

History-  Roman Artefacts

Class 4 have spent the afternoon being archaeologists! Roman artefacts were buried in our classroom. Our job was to carefully dig them up using tools and piece together the artefacts to figure out what they are and what the Romans might have used them for. What artefacts can you spot?

Chicks
Class 4 went on a visit to Reception class to see their newly hatched chicks! We enjoyed getting to stroke their soft feathers and watch them run around the room. A huge thank you to Reception for letting us visit.
