Science Ideas for Home Learning

If you are wanting to do some Science and STEM learning at home, follow the links to these amazing websites!

 Explorify

You will need to create a login and it may take a little while for you to familiarise yourselves with the site, but this is a great resource! Each activity has teaching notes, explaining how to use the activity…

This website is a series of cartoon strip style instructions for easy to do science activities from the institute of physics. Each activity also has a simple scientific explanation.

Great activities to try are: reappearing coin, lava lamp, musical coat hanger (you can use any metal cutlery), convection snake, bouncing balls, ‘alkaseltzer’ rocket and balloon rocket.

Welcome back Year 4!

Year 4 have had a great first couple of weeks settling back into school.

This term, our topic is Walk Like An Egyptian and we will be learning about Egypt in the past and present, mummification and gods and goddesses. They will also be doing some Egyptian artwork and looking at hieroglyphics which we are really excited to do.

Our Science topics this term are Sound and Electricity. As part of these topics, we will be planning and carrying out lots of investigations, including making a sound proof pyramid and Christmas decorations.

PE kits need to be in school every Monday as our PE slots are Monday and Wednesday. They can be taken home after Wednesday’s lesson.

Spellings are given out every Monday and tested on Friday. Maths homework is given out every Friday and needs to be completed by the following Thursday.

We are excited for the following term and can’t wait for everything that we have planned.

If you have any questions for us, please contact the school office.

Thank you,

Mr Taylor and Mrs Beardwood
