09/09/25 Maths- Place Value
Today in year 4, we explored place value using counters and grids to help us understand what happens when we find 1, 10, 100, 1000 more or less than a number. We used practical resources to see how each digit changes depending on its place and we even tackled exchanging when needed.
09/09/25 Science- Digestive System
Today in Science, we made a model to show how food travels through the digestive system. We used a variety of equipment, such as food, plastic tubes (oesophagus), sandwhich bags (stomach), lemon juice (stomach acid), tights (small intestines) and others to symbolise parts of our digestive system. It was a fun and messy way to learn how our amazing digestive system works!
08/09/25 RE- The Biblical Story Of Joseph
In this lesson, we explored the biblical story of Joseph through a drama-based approach.After learning about the key events in Joseph's life, we worked in small groups to re-enact significant scenes from the story. We took on roles, such as Joseph, Jacob, the brothers, Pharaoh and narrators and we thought carefully about what each character might say, think and feel. This helped us to reflect the important themes, such as jelousy, forgivness, trust and reconciliation.
