D.T. - 'The Great Bread Bake Off!' - April 2025
This term, Year 4 have been busy developing their skills in design and food technology through The Great Bread Bake Off! As part of this exciting challenge, students were asked to create their own design criteria for a brand-new type of bread—along with eco-friendly packaging to match.
After careful planning, we constructed prototypes of our packaging, ensuring sustainability was at the heart of our designs. Then, on Tuesday, the big day arrived! With their chosen ingredients ready, the children baked their unique bread creations, filling the school with delicious aromas.
A huge thank you to our wonderful parent helpers, whose support made the day run smoothly. Well done to all our young bakers and designers for their creativity and hard work!
Science Week - March 2025
Year 4 had an exciting and engaging Science Week, packed with hands-on learning and inspiring experiences!
We began with a live lesson on adaptation in farming, which linked perfectly to this term’s science unit on plants, animals, and their habitats. Building on this, pupils used their creativity and scientific knowledge to invent a brand-new plant species, specially adapted to survive in a chosen habitat.
To explore this year’s theme, Change and Adapt, we conducted an investigation into acids, alkalis, and natural pH values, discovering how different substances interact and change.
We were also incredibly fortunate to welcome two parents working in STEM careers. They shared fascinating insights into their fields—one in aviation and the other in virtual reality within psychology—helping to inspire our young scientists with real-world applications of science and technology.
Science Week was a fantastic opportunity to spark curiosity and deepen our understanding of the world around us!
