Class 4

Apple Crumble
We made our very own apple crumbles! We first had to peel and chop the apples.  We used the peelers and knives safely and were really good at this.  We then added sugar and put the apple in the microwave.  In the kitchen, we combined sugar, flour and margarine to make the crumble topping and then put it in the oven to cook.  They were delicious!

Maths
We enjoyed exploring tetrominoes in Maths.  Tetrominoes are shapes made with 4 connecting squares.  We discovered that there are 5 kinds of tetrominoes.  We drew our own and are looking forward to exploring pentominoes.

Geography
In Geography, we have been exploring maps and journeys.  We have learnt about keys, compass points, countries and capital cities in the United Kingdom, and human and physical features. Making our own pirate maps was a highlight of this theme.

Design Technology
We have been exploring bridges.  We looked at towers around the world, thinking about what makes a strong structure.  After this we made our own towers out of newspaper and masking tape.  This was quite a challenge!

Music
In Music, we have learnt about contrasts including high and low, loud and soft, fast and slow.  We have loved playing the instruments for the Christmas musical using these different contrasts.

Dance
We love dance in our class and particularly loved learning about Indian dance.  We explored the different moves that are used before learning our own Indian dance.  In our dance some of the children were snake charmers and some were snakes.  It was great fun.

Rangoli
We learnt about the Hindu festival Diwali and created our own Rangoli patterns.  We discovered that they were symmetrical and often made out of colourful rice, sand or petals.  We made our own patterns using glitter, coloured salt and colouring pencils.
