The race to space in year 4

As part of our work on the 1960’s, we have been learning about the space race. Today, we took part in a STEM rocket workshop, where we designed, made and tested rockets to send in to space.

Year 4 1960’s enrichment

We would like to thank Mrs Smith, who came in to year 4 yesterday so we could interview her and find out what her teenage life was like in the 1960’s. We asked her lots of questions and we were quite surprised by some of her answers.

Year 4’s Silent soldier poppy Remembrance

Today, our Year 4’s took part in a Remembrance service at the site of Ketley’s silent soldier. The children read the poetry they had written, took part in a minute silence and placed the poppies they had made in the flower bed.

Coding in Year 4

Over the last few weeks, year 4 has been working with Richard Smith from Amazing ICT. He has taught us to debug, choose variables and create repetition on times tables games made on Scratch. Children can continue this coding work at home by going on the amazing ICT webpage. We have really enjoyed this.
