Chopping skills in DT

This week the children learnt the bridge and claw technique for chopping vegetables. We were so impressed with their understanding of knife safety.

Simple electric circuits

Today we discussed the difference between mains and battery powered items. We learnt how to create simple complete circuits. Some groups managed to incorporate multiple components, such as a bulb and switches.

Y4 Home Learning activities

Good Morning All,

Here are a few ideas to keep your mind active today:

  1. Read! Find a book or audiobook – remember to note down what you learnt/enjoyed in your diary. Even better if it is snow related! e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbXZBT8wv1w
  2. TTRS – Challenge yourself by focusing on the 6s, 7s, 8s and 9s.
  3. Create a symmetry poster – Explain what symmetry is and give some examples. (Parents you could draw half shapes and mirror lines for your children to complete – see below).
  4. Create a quadrilateral/triangle artwork – Use a ruler/straight edge to create an artwork made only from 4-sided and 3-sided 2D shapes. EXT: Can you research the properties of the shapes? e.g. a rhombus has 4 equal sides, no right angles etc…
  5. Design your own Narnia – Where could there be a portal in your house? Where would it take you? What would you find there? What might the problem be? Create an artwork, cartoon or story to share when we are all back together.
  6. Geography task – Why is France famous? You could spend some time researching food, famous buildings, amazing cities, surf spots, football teams. Whatever interests you!! Could you create a video to share your findings?

Don’t forget to get outside and enjoy the wintry weather safely too!

The Year 4 Team
