Nativity

Year 4 are very excited for their nativity 'Stable Manners'!

 

Science - The Digestive System

Year 4 have been busy modelling the digestive system and have had lots of fun making working models.

We used bananas and crackers as food. We placed them into a bag which represented the stomach, then added water (to represent saliva) and orange juice (to represent the stomach acid). We pummelled the foods with the liquids, just like the stomach muscles pummel our food. Once the food had been mashed up, we transferred it into a paper cup which represented the large intestine. We had made a small hole in the bottom of the cup to act as the anus which we pushed the waste food through. The waste food was our faeces!

  

  

 

Art - Sculpture

Year 4 have completed their Art topic on Mega Structures by experimenting with different ways to join materials to make their open sculptures.

  

  

Art - Sculpture

Year 4 have been looking at different styles of sculpture in Art. We have learned about Magdalene Odundo's work and her inspirations, then used chalk to make large 2D drawings of 3D sculptures.

  

We also explored the work of sculptor Sokairi Douglas Camp, and then used ourselves as an active part of our very own shadow sculptures highlighting our school values: kindness, perseverance, forgiveness, respect and challenge.
