Into university
Years 3 & 4 took part in an Into University workshop this week. We learnt about different careers including a museum curator and foley artist. We looked at a range of different artefacts and decided what exhibitions they would fit into in a museum and then we used a range of everyday objects to make different sound effects for movies.
Visit to Hampton court
Year 4 visited Hampton Court Palace to kick start our topic this term 'The Tudors'. We did a session called 'Tudor Palaces and Trade' where we learnt about how trading and exporting worked in Tudor times and how new discoveries changed how we live today.
London Zoo
Year 4 had a wonderful visit to London Zoo as part of our learning on the Himalayas. We saw the tigers and the langur monkeys who are native to countries which the Himalayas stretch across. We also enjoyed seeing other animals, especially the meerkats who were extremely cute and very happy to see us .
Ancient Greece day
Year 4 enjoyed an amazing end to our topic on Ancient Greece by having an ancient Greece Day. We dressed up, we made bread using ancient recipes and we had a Greek feast to finish off our day where we sampled some of the foods enjoyed in ancient Greece and drank a little red wine! (grape juice). Year 4 got creative and put our planning into practice to create our very own Greek pots in Art & DT. We used the coil and pinch method to layer our clay and build our pots from the base up.
