Year 4 Science: Sound

Y4 Church Visit

By Religious Education, Year 4


Today we were at the church for Holy Communion. In R.E. we have been learning about the kind of world Jesus wants. We’ve read Matthew 4:18-20 and really discussed the terms “Fishers of Men” and what the word “Gospel” mean. Helen & James were kind enough to spend some time afterwards talking to us about how they try to live out Jesus’ teachings and make the world a better place.

Year 4 Geography Fieldwork

By Geography, Year 4

Fieldwork is when you go outside the classroom and find things out for yourself. Today, Year 4 started our geography fieldwork by trying to answer the question- What is there in Wickersley?
We counted the various business types, e.g. Take-Aways, Pharmacies etc. We made a tally and we will use that data to created a bar chart. We will also use Digimaps to plot our course and think about how we feel about various areas of Wickersley.
