I Am Warrior!  Autumn 2

Wow!

We started our topic by finding out that the Romans were a powerful and clever ancient civilisation.  They ruled over many lands and their organised army helped them to conquer successfully.  Therefore, we decided to become a Roman soldier ourselves!  We designed and made our own shield before creating a 'turtle' formation - protecting ourselves from every angle - which the Romans introduced.  We then put it to the test by going into battle and coming under attack!  It was great fun!  Take a look at our photos and short video below!

Burps, Bottoms and Bile: Autumn 1

Our Learning

We have had a great half-term of learning! In Science, we learnt all about how our digestive system works and the different types of teeth we use to help us break down food. We also used our scientific knowledge to write an explanation about how food chains work.

As part of DT, we planned and made our own stir-fry! We made a take-away box from a paper plate and chose our vegetables, protein, noodles and sauce to create a delicious and healthy meal!  Take a look at our photos below.

Project Homework

We had some amazing project homeworks from everyone in the class to show their learning this term.  These included drawings, diagrams, facts, a science experiment, models, PowerPoint presentations from Molly, Leo and Delwyn as well as a 'Minecraft' journey through the digestive system! Take a look at our photos below.

Endurance Session!

Y4 took part in an endurance session as part of the ‘Together We Achieve’ programme which involved them using their resilience, confidence and teamwork skills in a variety of military style exercises. They  completed activities like crawling under camouflage nets, tyre races and a tug of war!  They had a lot of fun!! Take a look at the photos below.

WOW!

We had a fantastic, if not quite disgusting start to our topic by recreating a model of the digestive system!  We use some crackers, banana, orange juice and water to show what happens to our food as it travels to the stomach, before showing how it moves through the small and large intestine, using tights!  Eventually, it squeezes out at the other end!!

We also tasted a range of vegetables, protein and sauces in preparation for us making a healthy stir-fry later in the term.  We were all very brave and tried a little of everything to a mixture of enjoyment!
