Our major topic this term is 'Contrasting Settings'. Within this topic we will be looking at Chester and the small village of Finsthwaite in the Lake District (near where our residential is taking place). During our literacy and Geography this term we will be learning all about the physical and human geographical features of both areas. In order to learn more I have put some links to some helpful websites.
We will be creating out own Class Wiki all about glaciation so we can learn about how the Lake District was created.
|
This is a useful link so we
can learn about the different
lakes in Cumbria. |
 |
|
|
The Lake District is a classic example of
the effects of glaciation. |
|
Click on the link
to learn more about glaciers. |
 |
 |
|
Part of our Geography topic will involve
learning how to read maps and work
out how to read and write grid coordinates.
Click on the link to have a play with maps,
coordinates and even look at maps from
the 1930's |
 |
In P.E we have doing gymnastics and have been learning all about different starting and finishing positions, ways of travelling as well as different balances.
In Science this term we have been learning all about electricity. One of our challenges was to try and make a switch that, when on, would make a bulb illuminate.
 |
 |
 |
 |
We also tried to discover which
items were good conductors of
electricity and which acted as
resistors. |
 |
This term we have continued with our talks.
|
All about Nessy.
|
We learned a lot about Hungary! |
|
Here are some photographs of our amazing guitarists.
 |
 |
For 10 weeks Year 4

from Music For Life, did a
great job of teaching us. |
Imaginary worlds
Do you like the worlds Year 4 have created?
|
In Science we are learning all about
circuits and conductors. To learn more

For Anti-bullying week we discussed and thought of words to describe how someone must feel if they were being bullied. PC Carl Williams came into class to talk to the children about how to keep safe when using mobile phones and on the internet.
At present each of the children are teaching the rest of the class about a subject they enjoy.
Year 4 were lucky enough to have a story from Richard O'Neill - a story teller of gypsy origin.
 |
Mr O'Neill told us about the
story of the Gypsy gold and
where they hid it.
Can you remember where they
did hide the gold? |

|
Our Roman trip to the
Grosvenor Museum!
We began by finding out the answers to questions about the Romans by looking
round the two galleries in the Museum.
|
|
We also learned about the
Roman way of life and
how they built things. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Who is this fearsome soldier?
Would any Celt not
be afraid to meet
him on the battle field? |
 |
|
 |
Oh no! Another Roman soldier, what shall we do?
Shall we join the Roman army and be brave just like the two we have already met? |
 |
 |
|
What happens if you
go through the East gate?
Can you remember what
happened if you went
through the North,
South and West gates? |
 |
 |
 |
|
Poor lad, he is
a prisoner, what
will happen to him?
|
 |
What a busy day! |

What can you find out about Celtic roundhouses? Can you tell me what the Romans ate?
Think about the fact that we are going to be doing a powerpoint presentation all about the Celts,
can you find out any extra information that will help make your presentation more interesting? |
|
|

If you would like to find out more about the Celts an excellent resource we
will be using in class can be accessed by clicking on the Celtic warrior. |

We will be using this resource
when we look at Celtic religion.
It is also full of lots of other useful pieces of
information that will help you when it comes to
creating a powerpoint all about the Celts. |
