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.
We know how to use stride length to increase our impact in a race.
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!
Tennis: Applying the forehand and back hand in game situations
We were supportive, encouraging and careful when we used our hall slot to make times table circuits…
We introduce the back hand
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.
