There has been lots of practical learning in Year 4 this week! In Science, we built simple electrical circuits using different components and investigated what happened when we added additional cells.

Our creativity has been flowing too. In Art, the children brought in toys, arranged their own scenes and used these as inspiration for their illustrations. We have also explored Ancient Egyptian beliefs and stories, creating our own drawings and comic strips.

We regularly invite children to share and demonstrate their learning under the visualiser in Year 4. It has been lovely to see them growing in confidence when sharing their ideas and work with the rest of the class.
