Birkwood Choir
On Monday 13th July our school choir shared the songs they have been learning in after school club with their parents and carers. We are extremely proud of their hard work and cannot wait to see where we go with them next year!
Year 4
Thank you to our amazing School Reading Volunteers
The Year 4 Ada Lovelace class invited the amazing reading volunteers to a tea party. We with entertained them with our brass music and engaged in lots of small talk from big hearts. We gave compliments, asked questions and said thank you for spending precious time listening to our readers every week. You make a huge difference!
Me and My Emotions
We loved exploring, discussing and sharing examples of our emotions with a beautiful Compass Be workshop.
Tennis game, set and match…
We used our skills to play against each other in our final tennis lesson of the year.
Dance for Rights
The Year 4 Ada Lovelace class thoroughly enjoyed their Dance for Rights live lesson with The Royal Ballet. We explored themes of identity, hope, journey and play through an immersive and moving creative experience. We collaborated to perform a piece including group, duet and solo motifs which we danced alongside the experts and other schools.
Year 4 Ada Lovelace visit Skelton Grange
What a fantastic day! We explored our science topic of Living Things and their Habitats with an activity packed itinerary including bug hunting and pond dipping
Body, arms, legs and head
We involved every body part in sequencing dance actions for the World Cup dance in class today.
Music Festival
We had the celebrity treatment today when we performed amazingly at The Barnsley Metrodome in the Music Festival. We loved our after party back in school to celebrate our success.
Anyone for Tennis?
We decided to split our lesson this week due to the heat. This involved alternating between a short, low energy game of tennis outside and some indoor tennis themed activities.
Saying Goodbye …
We all said thank you and goodbye to our wonderful PGCE student who brought cake and juice to say thank you! We wish her all the best and will miss her.
World Cup Football Circuit
We came in from the heat and continued our World Cup fever in the hall by completing a themed fitness circuit activity. We supported our peers by giving tips and encouragement.
Tennis…
Applying the forehand and back hand : creating space to win a point.
Year 4 World Cup Dance
We are learning motifs to link into a World Cup football dance.
BYC Singing Workshop
The Year 4 Ada Lovelace enjoyed learning Let Your Light Shine. We had to stay in time, consider the melody and dynamics as well as adding movements to the song.
Amazelab
We worked scientifically to complete an experiment with Amazelab. We used pipettes which measured and extracted coloured liquid, to make colour changing fizzing potions…
Amaze lab workshop
A big thankyou to Amazelab and Mrs Briggs for our workshop this week. We used white vinegar, food colouring, bicarbonate of soda and mineral oil to investigate a colour changing experiment!
Sports Day practice
We are practicing our skills ready for the big day! We are showing sportsmanship and respect after Mr Wood’s assembly. Do we learn more when we fail, or when we succeed?
Mirroring…
We explored mirroring using animals we had encountered in our class text, The Explorer.
Fractions of Quantities
Year 4 Ada Lovelace used objects and pictures before moving on to abstract problems involving fractions of quantities.
