Year 4 Subject Blog - Science

 

Year 4 have enthusiastically begun their new Science topic on the digestive system. This week, they focused on learning about teeth, including the different types of teeth and their important functions. Working collaboratively in pairs and using their reciprocity skills, the children created models of the bottom set of teeth using playdough before carefully labelling each type of tooth. They also discovered fascinating facts about teeth and discussed the importance of good dental hygiene and how to care for their teeth to keep them healthy. Well done, Year 4, for your excellent teamwork and scientific learning!

"Making the playdough teeth with my partner was so much fun, especially shaping the sharp canine teeth!" - Rebecca, Elm 

"I loved working together to roll out the playdough molars and learning how to keep our teeth squeaky clean!" - Tommy, Maple

"It was brilliant using our reciprocity skills to build the model and label all the different types of teeth correctly!" - Vanessa, Willow

Year 3 Drama Experience

 

Year 3 Interactive Drama

Experience: Resilience

Adventure!

On Wednesday, 16th September, Year 3 participated

in an exciting, whole-school interactive drama

adventure led by the Drama Geezers!

The focus of the session was all about Resilience—

learning how to keep trying, bounce back from

challenges, and support one another on and off the

"stage." Through engaging role-play, creative

movement, and live storytelling, our visiting actors

brought stories to life with incredible energy!

What We Did & Learned

• Interactive Performance: The Drama

• Geezers led an action-packed session

• with the children as collaborators.

• Building Confidence: Finding our voices 

• and  expressing ideas clearly

• Teamwork & Collaboration: Working

• alongside classmates to build scenes

• and solve problems using imagination.

• 
  

• Reflective Writing & Drawing: Following

• the drama workshop, the children created

• their own impressions of the performance

• through writing and drawing.

It was a fantastic day filled with laughter, imagination,

and important life lessons in resilience! Well done to

all of our Year 3 children for throwing themselves

into the experience with such enthusiasm.

Wild Passport Day Reminder

Year 3 will have their Wild Passport Day on the following dates;

 Tuesday 22nd September - Ash Class

Wednesday 23rdSeptember - Cedar Class

Thursday 24th September - Cherry Class

On their WILD Passport day, children must have:

• Long trousers

• A change of shoes

• A warm coat

We strongly recommend that this clothing remains in school to avoid having to remember session days.

In wet weather, children will need waterproof trousers, a waterproof jacket and wellies. In cold weather, please ensure children also have an extra jumper, extra socks, and hats and gloves.

WILD Passport sessions take place in all weather. As we say in Forest School,

“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”

Sessions will continue in all weathers, with timings, activities or location adjusted where necessary to ensure children’s comfort and safety.
