Last half term 4HC were comparing Bulwell and Skegness!

We had a fantastic time learing about and visiting both areas, completing land-use surveys and even asking members of the public questions to find out why people visit!

Here is a PowerPoint presentaion showing all the fun we had in Skegness!

This term we are learning about modern and abstract art. Here is some of the wonderful work we have done so far!

We worked in groups of 4 and used scetching pencils to create an image of a melting clock in the style of Dali.

Last half term 4HC enjoyed a week learning all about Hinduism! Here are some pictures of the wonderful things we did!

We made clay Diva candle holders, Hindu children might do this at Divali to remember how the villagers light candles to lead Rama and Sita home.

Chanel and Isobel were kind enough to bring in clothing that children might wear to celebrate Divali. Didn’t they look lovely!

We also made traditional Hindu sweets!

As part of our science topic this term we had a week learning all about magnetism!

Within this week 4HC made some wonderful magnet games!

Each game used magnets and paperclips to move objects around or to catch objects from the board!

We all worked really hard. Here are just a few examples

This term 4HC have done lots of Science work on forces looking at how we could move Dumbo across the playground!

We thought of lots of ways to do this and lots of ways that wouldn’t work, considering:

• Gravity
• Pushes and pulls
• Springs
• Magnets
• Air resistance and water resistance

We had lots of fun and carried out lots of our own investigations!

 All of 4HC are now expert scientists!!

This term year 4 have been learnng all about the Victorians and focussing on the question: ‘Were rich Victorians really the best?’

We had lots of fun dressing up in Victorian clothes and finding out what rich and poor Victorians wore. We also learnt lots about the toys rich and poor victorians would have had, where they lived and what they ate. We also looked at the jobs that poor Victorian children were expected to do and what Victorian school was like!

As part of this topic we had a FANASTIC day at ‘The Black Country Living Museum’ in Dudley! It was just like walking around a Victorian village! Our guide knew lots of interesting information about the Victorian times and the museum.

A lady told us all about her Victorian house and the jobs she had to do to keep it tidy and look after her family!

We even went for a lesson in a Victorian school! The Teacher was very strict!

We made sure that the handwriting on our slates was the neatest we could do because we didn’t want to get the cane!
