Stained Glass Windows, by Miss Horvath
Date: 26th Feb 2019 @ 12:35pm
Year 4 have been looking closely at stained glass windows and how they can represent teachings from different religions. We looked in particular at the Christian Easter story and how we could represent it through the art of a stained glass window. We created our images and then to give them a WOW window effect we decided to laminate each design.

Ice Cream in a Bag!, by Miss Horvath
Date: 8th Feb 2019 @ 2:34pm
Year 4 have really enjoyed their science topic this half-term on States of Matter. To finish, we spent this morning making ice cream in a bag!
We combined milk, vanilla and sugar in a bag and placed that bag into another bag which contained a LOT of ice and salt!
The salt lowers the ice's melting point and the ice begins to melt. As you create friction from shaking the bags, the milk begins to freeze and become a solid = ICE CREAM!
We enjoyed making the ice cream but we LOVED tasting it afterwards!
The Water Cycle, by Miss Horvath
Date: 29th Jan 2019 @ 4:56pm
Year 4 spent some time today learning all about the water cycle and how United Utilities helps to provide clean water to our school and homes.
We discussed changes in state, tips for saving water, water safety, how much water we use daily and even, how we could save our adults some money at home!
A big thank you to United Utilities and King Fisher Education for a wonderful and educational day.
Natural Inspiration, by Miss Horvath
Date: 28th Jan 2019 @ 4:20pm
Last week, Year 4 spent some time in the school field and gardens looking at different natural objects and practising observational drawings.
We are currently looking at Victorian artist William Morris and how he used nature in many of his prints and artworks.
We aim to finish this topic by re-creating some of his work and creating our own printed pieces of art using nature as inspiration!

Martin Luther King Day and World Religion Day, by Miss Horvath
Date: 25th Jan 2019 @ 9:26am
Last week, Year 4 spent some time looking at Martin Luther King as it was then that America celebrated Martin Luther King day. Martin Luther King day is held to celebrate his birthday and to remind us of all of his great accomplishments.
We also spent some time writing acrostic poems for World Religion Day which took place on Sunday 20th January. World Religion Day was recognised in 1950 in the United States and is now celebrated worldwide on the third Sunday in January each year. We discussed the importance of tolerance and respect for all religions and how we can show tolerance and respect to someone with a different religion to us.

Art, by Miss Horvath
Date: 10th Jan 2019 @ 2:07pm
This half term Year 4 will be diving into the world of Victorian Art, specifically focusing on renowned artist, William Morris.
To kick start the topic, the children observed the art of potato printing! The children noticed that in order to get a clear print you need to take care and ensure that you focus on the details for the best results.
Once the potatoes were put away, we decided to have a go at sketching natural objects to improve our ability to add depth and texture to our drawings.
