Y4 Science- Animals including Humans

This term, Y4 would have been learning about animals including humans as part of their Science unit.

We’d like children to create a piece of work, which demonstrates their knowledge of this unit. Children can choose how they’d like to present this information e.g. a poem, piece of artwork, a video report etc and upload it onto the Y4 homework blog.

Here is some information to help them: Y4 Science Animals including Humans

Inverted Commas

Y4 Parent Email

Purple Mash emails are a great way for children/parents to communicate with us; however, there have been a few requests from parents about emailing teachers directly, without their child having access to the content. To support parents, we have set up a Y4 email address for parents to email if they have any questions about their child/child’s learning.

Many thanks,

Miss Macfarlane & Mr Jackson

Fun fruit snacks 🍎 , outdoor painting 🎨 and teddy bear hunts 🧸

On Thursday, we enjoyed playing cricket outside in the sunshine. When we got hungry we re-fuelled by making our own fruit caterpillar snacks 🐛. We took them outside to eat in the sunshine and played some more  games. After lunch, we used some old wallpaper to do some Spring painting outside. Then, we went on our very own bear hunt. There were 10 bears for us to find and each bear had an exercise challenge for us to complete. We finished our day by watching an animation of ‘We are going on a Bear Hunt’ on YouTube. Thank you for such a lovely day everyone!
