Year 4 have been learning about electricity during Term 3 and 4. To bring this unit to a close, the children of 4A created circuits using bulbs and buzzers to make the Iron Man come to life! Have a look at some of the creative designs showcasing their amazing skills.
This term in year 4 we have been learning about the Stone Age. The children had a fantastic time completing their own cave paintings which were inspired by our learning on what evidence we have for the Stone Age period.
We then focused on learning different animals from the Stone Age, the children then made their own woolly mammoth using recycled materials.
I’m sure you will agree that the children have all done an amazing job this term and we are extremely proud of the high quality of work they have produced.
Well done year 4!!!
On Thursday 11 May, classes 3B and 3C enjoyed a fabulous trip to Wingham Wildlife Park. Thankfully, the weather was good to us and enabled us to thoroughly enjoy seeing all the animals and linking it to our topic on ‘Animals including Humans.’
We were fortunate to watch the zoo keepers taking the penguins for a walk around the park, which was lovely. Most of the animals were out on view so children were able to see them up close which was a real treat.
Year 3 were engaged and very well behaved. A true credit to Garlinge School.
On Friday 5th May, year 4 enjoyed celebrating the coronation of King Charles III. We had great fun making flags and bunting and learning about the significance of the coronation. We also took part in an active maths lesson linked to kings and queens and it was fascinating to find out how long each king or queen reigned for. Luckily the sun shone in the afternoon and we enjoyed time together as a class, playing games and eating our delicious coronation themed biscuit.
Some of our year 4 children completed an activity week at school and they had a super, fun-filled 3 days! We started with an interesting watercolour workshop from the Turner Contemporary, where all the children behaved fantastically and demonstrated our Garlinge values. The children also enjoyed playing in an inflatable football pitch and participating in teamwork activities led by TSC, creating some lovely pieces of artwork and making a DELICIOUS fruit salad. We finished our busy week with a relaxing film afternoon and popcorn!
Year 4 had the exciting opportunity to go on their first residential trip! The children got a bit muddy during Nightline and solved all sorts of problems! The competition at the Mini Olympics was off the charts! The children had so much fun and faced many fears, all of which were conquered! They designed and built their own shelters in the forest, (Mrs Scott was particularly proud of hers!), they lunged around with their foils during the fencing session, they stacked crates up to what felt like the sky and zipped away on the Quick Zip Line! They tried their hardest to beat the teachers in the quiz after buying snacks and souvenirs in the gift shop. It was an excellent trip building on independence, friendship, team work and confidence. Well done year 4.
This week Year 4 have had an amazing time making their own torches as part of our electricity topic. The children worked in pairs to build an electrical circuit. They then designed and made their own torches. We were so proud of the children for demonstrating a range of scientific skills, especially problem solving. Well done to all our science superstars.
