Homework for last half-term
Last half-term, your teachers have shared with you daily sets of documents to help you with your learning at home during the school closure. If you need to go back to them, they are still available for you here.

On Friday 27th November, Year 4 experimented melting chocolate.

In Science, Year 4 have been investigating the three states of matter - solids, liquids and gases. Last week, we carried out an experiment to find out which type of chocolate melted the slowest - milk, white or dark. We didn't find out a result yet as all of the chocolate was slow to melt, but we have evaluated our investigation and have planned out how to do it again to give us a result. Keep checking the website for our findings!

In Year 4, we have been exploring the idea of journeys. We have explored Aboriginal art and how symbols, colour and line have been used for thousands of years to tell stories of journeys including stories from The Dreamtime. We explored maps and created pictures of familiar journeys and then considered the work of abstract artist Paul Klee who represented objects and ideas in abstract ways. ​
