Year 4 Class Trip to YSP
Having learned about Barbara Hepworth and her love of nature in our art research, we were very excited to see her work for ourselves. We enjoyed discussing The Family of Man and walking around, appreciating the stunning surroundings. After lunch, we participated in a Walk, Talk, Make workshop based on our experiences.
Personhood
Having shared some facts, qualities, values, similarities, differences and preferences, we got to thinking about what really makes US. If you change your lunchbox or your hairstyle, does that change who you are? We began to ask what was the same and different about ourselves at the end of year 3 to the beginning of year 4. Are we still the same person? Why it why not?
Understanding and Reading Notation
We had to concentrate to read the notes and rests but we did a super job! We can read music!

We represented movements of coal mining machinery in our dance lesson today.
We used counter actions of pull/push, up/down, turn/stop and open/close.
Brilliant brass!
We even had some solos this week with A Quarter’s Worth!
