What an exciting Term 4 it has been, the final term investigating where sounds come from and much more!

In Science, we have also been learning all about the different parts of the ear and even visited Sandwich Technology School to take part in science lessons.

Music would not exist without sound. Inspired by the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay the children designed and created their own recycled musical instruments in DT. We finally got round to making our final bridge designs. We’ve been learning about how to write down a melody using graphic notation - the representation of music through our own visual symbols – and perform it together to an audience. Nigel the Music Man came along with his marvellous collection of musical instruments.

In our Maths learning this term, we have focused on decimals and fractions as different ways of expressing numbers. Our understanding of the number system and decimal place value has been extended to tenths and then hundredths. This includes relating the decimal notation to division of whole numbers by 10 and later 100.

Geography took us to Russia. We spent time learning all about Russia and how it compares to Europe and the UK. Here is a copy of the winning fact file on Russia:

In Literacy, we were inspired by Drum Dream Girl by Margarita Engle. Poetry is an important part of our learning in Year 4. The children have wrote their own marvellous poems using rhyme, alliteration and onomatopoeia words to represent sounds of Wingham Primary School. Some took it further by performing their poems using performance poetry techniques.

On Significant Female into School day, we welcomed significant female figures from our lives for portrait painting. Everyone seemed to really enjoy spending this quality time together.

Flourish and Thrive are wonderfully creative times, here are just some of the wonderful creations the children have worked on:

Everyone in Pine Class is so Eggcellent – Happy Easter!
