Computing - Editing Images

Year 4 are learning how to edit images in their computing lessons. Today they have been busy changing the composition of an image so that they appear to be Romans. How realistic do they look?

 

PSHE - Resilience

Year 4 have been learning about resilience in their Jigsaw lessons. They recognise that things don't always turn out the way they'd like and have been coming up with some excellent ideas and advice so that they have strategies to cope when things go wrong. Here they are using their teamwork skills to produce their funny potatoes. Luckily, because of their great teamwork they reported that they were confident their team had acted as democracy, showing mutual respect and tolerance towards each other and their ideas.

Science - The Digestive System

Year 4 had a fantastic afternoon demonstrating how the digestive system works. They learnt that the food is chewed in their mouths before being swallowed and pushed down their oesophagus by their tongue. Once in their stomach, their stomach muscles squash the food. After that, it travels down through their small intestine where the nutrients are removed and transferred into their bloodstream. The remaining waste then travels through the large intestine before being stored in the rectum. Finally, it is pushed through the anus into the toilet.

  

 

Tullie House Virtual Assembly - Ancient Egypt

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their Zoom meeting with David from Tullie House, who really inspired them at the start of their new History topic on the Ancient Egyptians. They listened brilliantly and really challenged David with some thoughtful questions related to what they had learnt.

Herbivore, Carnivore or Omnivore?

We have been revising our knowledge on herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and sorted photographs of different animals into each category. Then we checked on the back of the photo to see what each animal actually ate and if we had got it right. Finally we worked in teams to create a Venn diagram to show each type of animal.
