Science

Peace Class are currently learning about sound in their science lessons. We used different instruments to explore how quiet and loud sounds are caused by vibrations of different strengths. We then learnt that loud sounds have a greater amplitude than quieter sounds.

Mini Police

On Wednesday afternoon, our Y4 mini-police gave an assembly to the Y3 children explaining what they had learnt during the project. All the children were given an activity sheet to complete, and the Y4 children received their certificates from PC Debs and got to have their fingerprints taken. Why not ask them if they can remember why the police use fingerprints as evidence?

In one of our RE lessons this week, the children freeze-framed parts of Holy Week. They were split into three groups to focus on either Palm Sunday, the Last Supper or Good Friday. Each group chose the moment that they felt was the most significant from their allocated day to show.

This half term, Peace Class have received tennis coaching from Argyle. As their skills have progressed, they have moved on to playing tennis matches in doubles, which they have thoroughly enjoyed. Next half term, they will continue to benefit from Argyle coaching and will be developing their attacking and defending skills.

Science

In last week's science lesson, the children measured the distance travelled by a toy car down ramps covered in different materials in order to investigate which material caused the most friction. We discussed how we could make the investigation a fair test by keeping the ramps at the same height and always measuring from the front of the car. Our results didn't support our predictions, but this led to a discussion about possible inaccuracies with our measuring or conducting the investigation fairly.

This afternoon, the children created freeze-frames of key moments from Matthew's account of the Wise Men visiting Jesus in our RE lesson. We had some very angry looking Herods when 'he' found out that there was to be another king and when the Wise Men failed to return to him.
