Soccer Aid!
As a school we have been raising money for Soccer Aid.  Today the whole school got involved by competing in a vareity of soccer activities.  The children had to work through activities all involving using balls skills.  It was great fun to watch and evn some of the Teachers got involved...  Here are some pictures to share our day!

3, 2, 1, Blast Off!!

Today, we made rockets! We discussed the best shape for a rocket and compared the shapes of aeroplanes, birds and dolphins. We discovered that the best shape was a thin tube with a cone at the top and wings at the side. This shape was aerodynamic which meant it could move through air or water quickly. We used a reaction between vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to make our rockets blast off.

Design and Technology with Forest Academy.

Year 4 were very fortunate to have staff from Forest Academy in to carry out a D & T lesson.  We were so excited and couldn't wait.  We had the teacher tell us what we would be doing and we got even more excited.  We had to build spaghetti towers in mixed groups, so we mixed up both the classes and made 10 groups of 5 children.  We got our resources and went off into the playground and other classroom to start our designs on our towers, once we knew what we wanted to build, we began construction.  The biggest tower would win Dojo points.  Here are soe pictures showing you all how much fun was had by us all.
