Year 4 – Mechanical posters – 29.6.23

Year 4 have used their STEAM skills this week to create some fabulous mechanical posters. They used levers and pivots to make toothbrushes move and to pass on the important message of looking after your teeth. Well done Year 4!

Year 4 Design and Technology – 27/6/23

Year 4 have been busy making mechanisms in our DT lessons today. We have made waving models using cardboard levers and split pin pivots. We also learned about inputs and outputs. By pulling or pushing the lever (input), we can make the hand wave (output).

STEAM Week – Mott Macdonald Bentley Visit Year 4

This morning, we were extremely lucky to have a visit from Emma and Gemma, STEM ambassadors from MMB, who explained their job roles, explained the water cycle and completed a water filtration experiment with the children. The children listened carefully, were really inquisitive and asked meaningful questions.

 

 

Y4 STEAM week – 26/6/23

Year 4 have had a great start to our STEAM week activities. Lots of us dressed up today in a wide variety of costumes. Can you guess what we all are?

We have also been learning about our digestive system. We drew around a volunteer and then tried to put all of the organs in the correct places. We hope you agree that we did quite a good job!

STEAM Week Reminder – Dress up Monday 26th June

STEAM Week: Week Beginning Monday 26th June

Dear Parent/Carers,

This year, during our STEAM Week (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths), our whole school topic will be ‘Connections’. We have some exciting activities, ‘hands on’ experiments and investigations and music, art and design activities planned as part of this week. We will be looking at some famous inventors and scientists, the amazing things that they created and discovered, and the impact they have had on the world as well as having the opportunity to go on a learning journey ourselves. All children will have the opportunity to show their creativity, engineering and scientific learning throughout the week so please look out for uploads onto our website and twitter pages.

During the week, the children will be learning about all the careers linked to STEAM. On Monday 26th June, to begin our STEAM Week, all children are invited to come into school in any costumes linked to our theme. This may include dressing up as a famous inventor, scientist, discoverer, artist or musician. We hope that lots of children will take part in this opportunity to celebrate and discuss the range of careers linked to these subjects within school.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Miss Helen Gilbert
Science Coordinator
