Projects

Year 4 visited Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve to apply their GEOGRAPHY learning about rivers, the water cycle and sustainable water use. They investigated a pond habitat with some pond dipping. Finally, children went in to the river to spot river features and measure different aspects of the river.

In Art, the children learnt about Roman art. They looked at Roman busts, sculptures and mosaics. They created their own mosaic patterns too. Then, the children looked at the different Roman coins and then designed and created their own Roman coin out of clay. Once their coin had been in the kiln, the children painted them either bronze, silver or gold. We were really impressed with the designs they created.

In DT, children learnt about where our food comes from. Then, we tasted biscuits to see which flavours and textures we preferred before designing and making our own Easter inspired biscuits. The children created biscuits of all different shapes and sizes and added a variety of different flavours from ginger to chocolate chip. Their biscuits were a great success and they thoroughly enjoyed eating them!
