Today we created our own version of the cup song. We worked in groups and were able to demonstrate both cannon and unison. Fantastic efforts!

Great game, great team work and great win, 5-3. Both teams (Moat Primary) played brilliantly.

Fantastic sequence work from year 4. We have been creating both mirror and counter balances, linking them together to make sequences.

This afternoon Year 4 have been looking at Egyptian tomb paintings as part of our ‘Temples, Tombs and Treasures’ topic. We learnt that the paintings inside each tomb were a reflection of the life of the Pharaoh buried inside. In groups, we discussed what each paintings tells us about the life of the Pharaoh. As you can see, we came up with some fantastic ideas and thoughts! Check back here next week to see our own attempts at tomb paintings…

Today we used a fun learning strategy to start our Roman numerals unit. Roman numbers were widely used throughout the Roman Empire in everyday life,and we still use them in this day and age. We started the lesson by discussing where we can see Roman numbers in our daily lives and then we talked about how to combine them together to make different numbers. Can you spot any in your house?

Today year 4 completed a science experiment investigating how sound travels. Using decibel meters, the children measured the sound from a drum from three distances: 5,10 and 15 meters. As a year group, year 4 planned the experiment last week and carried it out today in the village square. Back in the classroom, results were recorded, graphs were drawn and a conclusion was written! A fun morning of Science!

More fantastic balances in year 4.

More fantastic gymnastics. We continued with our counter balance theme, but this time using lots of apparatus!

Great practise…. lots of passing, receiving and footwork!

Fantastic counter balances from year 4 today. They have now been mastered on the floor, so today’s lesson was spent transferring balances on benches and boxes.
