Year 4 have been busy becoming ECO WARRIORS by discussing environmental and sustainability issues. They have recently completed an environmental review, focussing on one topic including Biodiversity, Energy, Healthy Living, Litter, School Grounds, Transport, Waste and Water. In their groups, the children, independently, created a bank of questions to ask different members of staff, made observations and recordings, which enabled them to identify strengths and areas of improvement across school.

We had the opportunity to have a STEM Robotics Workshop working with Lego. In the STEM workshop, children have been working on their engineering skills. To begin with, children took part in some activities to familiarise themselves with Lego and programming software. Their next task was to build and program a roaring lion. Children learned about gears, timers, motor power and simple algorithms to control their models and used practical problem-solving skills to create their models. Their learning was then extended to using motion sensors within their algorithm. They then programmed the Lion with movement, sound and backgrounds.

During our DT topic, we created torches for a specific purpose. Children explored how to create circuits with a switch and applied this to their torch design. Some children created headtorches, handheld torches, reading torches and safety torches. The children worked really hard to meet their design criteria.
2S - Art: Wonderful Wirral: final piece
Date: 10th Jun 2022 @ 10:23pm
Today we completed our final art pieces in the style of artist, Alfred Wallis.
Firstly we cut up maps and brown paper to stick onto our paper and then we lightly sketched a lighthouse and a series of boats in the styles Alfred Wallis used. We then used oil pastels to colour these. After that, we used play doh to help guide us to see onto our pictures and finally, mixing a range of tints and tones of blue paint, we used stippling to create a water/sea effect. Have a look T the photos and see what you think. Mrs Simmons will upload individual pictures of us with our pfinished paintings once they have dried.

Recycling
This week we have been learning all about recycling. We learnt that there are different bins for specific pieces of rubbish. We came in to our class and it was full of rubbish! As a class we were able to help tidy up the mess and put the rubbish in to the correct bins. We also created recycling posters to make our friends in school aware of the importance of recycling and what it can do to the environment.

We have been practising for our upcoming multiplication test and trying our best to answer 25 questions with a 6 second break between each question. I wonder how many parents could achieve 25/25?
The children are also enjoying using TT Rockstars to improve their score and speed.

Today we got the paints out again! But not before we had a short sewing session using paper maps and play doh!
We then practiced stippling (using the tips of the paintbrush's bristles) as this create a lovely 'water' effect. We then stuck our sewn maps into our sketchbooks and stippled around the map using a range of tones and tints of blue and white to create a water effect. This is all in the style of Alfred Wallis.
