Our learning:

Look at some of the things we have done:

ART

Our first art project this year was self portraits with the extra challenge of using a continuous line! After we created these, we used tracing paper to create a line poem called 'I am...' which listed all the amazing things about us. Then, we spent time creating an effective background in a range of mediums including collage, watercolours, pastels and chalk. Take a look at each stage and our completed pieces below...

HISTORY

To start our new topic on the Ancient Greeks, we looked at the timeline of Ancient Greece and key periods during this time. Then, we worked in groups to follow carefully instructions so that we could create our own timelines. We were so proud of what we did! Take a look...

SCIENCE

In Science this half term, we are exploring different forces and are carrying out experiments to investigate and understand these forces.

Friction:

First, we looked at friction and recapped our learning from Year 3. We investigated whether a wooden cube or ice block would fall down a ramp quicker and explored why.

Air resistance:

Then, we looked at air resistance by comparing how paper falls to the ground when the surface area is changed. We know that the bigger the surface area, the more air resistance acts upon the paper and slows down the fall.

PSHE

To start off our new year together, we reflected on our previous year's learning in PSHE thinking about relationships, health and safety. Then, we came up with new rules for our PSHE lessons this year so that everyone feels safe and comfortable to ask questions and share their ideas.
