Year 4 Class News

Fun Finding Factors!

In maths, as part of our current topic on Multiplication and Division, Year 4 had great fun using counters to create arrays to find the factor pairs of different numbers.

The children quickly worked out how to work methodically to find the factors and loved challenging themselves to find the factors of really tricky numbers.

Melting and Freezing Investigation

Year 4 are investigating states of matter this half term and today we were exploring melting and freezing.

We made different colour ice cubes with food colouring and were careful to make exact measurements using pipettes and measuring cylinders.

Once the ice has frozen, we are going to experiment with leaving the different ice cubes in different locations around school to see where it melts the slowest.

We are also excited to see which colour combinations we can make once the ice cubes melt!

Liverpool World Museum Trip

Year 4 had a very exciting trip to the World Museum in Liverpool on Tuesday to enrich their learning in their current Ancient Egyptians topic.

We took the train into Liverpool which was a new experience for some of the children and they all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Whilst at the museum, we were lucky enough to take part in a Discovering Ancient Egypt Workshop where the children were able to

handle ancient artefacts including some objects which were over 3000 years old!

Electrical Circuit Investigators!

Year 4 had a fantastic practical science lesson investigating electrical circuits. The children enjoyed building circuits to make a bulb light, a motor spin and a buzzer sound.

The children also stretched their knowledge to discover that adding more batteries would make a bulb brighter, whereas adding more bulbs would make the bulbs dimmer.

They were able to talk about how the power being shared between two bulbs meant that there was less electrical energy going to each bulb.

Place Values

Year 4 have enjoyed exploring place value of 4-digit numbers in maths this week. Today, the children used number cards to create 4-digit numbers and then used their number skills to partition them into a part-whole models. The children worked together in pairs and showed good listening and turn taking skills.
