The Rainmaker -Representing the emotions of characters using art by 4AW

We read the story of Aio the Rainmaker and then represented the feelings of the characters using artwork. Work from Jessica, Holly, Evie, Emma, Ryan and Joseph.

Stone Age Art 4AW

It's a bit late but we wanted to show you some of our cave art from our Stone Age topic. The backgrounds were completed with watercolour paints and cling film to give a rock like effect. We then used pastels over the top to add figures and animals that we had researched from the caves at Lascaux.

Roman Oil Lamp tutorials in 4MR!

After making Roman oil lamps, writing instructions on how to make them and then editing them to 'incredible' level, the children in 4MR wanted to make video tutorials... so they did!

One of the videos will be uploaded to the school's YouTube page - stay tuned!

The pictures used in the tutorials were generic and not the child's own design.

Here are some of the successes:

Ice Hands!

Year Four finished the week off with a science investigation. The children were observing, over time, the changes states can go through when heat is added. There were predictions made on which part of the ice hand would melt the quickest and how long it would take for the whole hand to melt. Year Four thought of different ways they could measure to show how the hands were melting. Some children decided to use thermometers to measure the temperature of the water and others decided to use a ruler to measure the length. Lastly, conclusions were made on the effect the environment can have on states of matter.
