Summer Term
Discover Term
Our history based discover project is due to run across the Summer term inspired by the big question 'How do communities evolve?' and exploring the impact of early man on the modern community. How have our living arrangements and eating habits changed over time?
Spring Term
Create Project
Over the Spring term we will be focusing on our create project with the big question, 'How can we make meaning from sound?' We will consider the similarities and differences between sound and music and investigating how sound is created and how it travels as well as exploring instruments and sounds from around the world. The children will also have the opportunity to create their own instruments and make their own compositions.
Autumn Term
Explore Project
Over the Autumn term we will be focusing on our geography based explore project with the big question, 'Where is the best place on Earth?' We will follow in the tracks of the fictional character Phileas Fogg who travelled around the world in 80 days and research the geographical location and physical features of each country he visited on the way.
RE Day - The children in year 4 explored Hinduism and how families practise their religion. One of the highlights from the day was creating Rangoli patterns using Rainbow Drops.

The children in year 4 met local resident Jo Riley who shared her research about the Great War, an interesting and thought provoking opportunity for the children
Curriculum Impact and Culture Capital. We asked the children about the impact that our recent visit from Jungle Jo and trip to Sherwood Pines had on their learning and we collected their responses. We hope you enjoy reading these responses as much as we did. We are delighted that these wonderful opportunities have had such a positive impact on the children and on their learning and their vocabulary. See if they can spot their own responses.
Animal Detectives Quiz: What am I? These are all evidence of livings things found around the grounds of Sherwood Pines. Can you work out what they are?
The year 4 children enjoyed looking for evidence of living things in a woodland habitat on the trip to Sherwood Pines.
Jungle Jo's visit was fantastic! She showed us some amazing invertebrate species from all around the world!
