Year 4 Diversity Week, by Mrs Saunders
Date: 12th Jul 2018 @ 10:13am
Last week we celebrated Diversity Week. As well as finding out what was meant by diversity we explored disabilities.
We then watched a short animation about a boy who received a special present from his mum. This made us think what it must be like to live with a disability. After the film and our group discussions we presented our own piece of work about the boy. We also shared our work with our year 3 friends at the end of the week.
Take a look at some of our work in progress.
If you would like to watch the film, go to the literacy shed website and search for the film called, The Present.

Date: 10th May 2018 @ 11:06am
Some of the children in year 4 stayed in school this week and had a great time learning about oceans, having art sessions and running an orienteering session for year 3!
The children learnt about artist Andy Goldsworthy and spent a morning planning their pictures before heading out into the centenary garden to collect materials from nature.
They researched oceans on the iPads and made pictures with scrunched up tissue or in a mosaic style.
They wrote their favourite jokes in chalk on the playground to entertain year 3 and then yesterday organised an orienteering style session with clues for some year 3 children to find letters which spelled out RESPECT.
The children said they really enjoyed themselves.
