A Falafel Feast

The Owls enjoyed making an ancient Egyptian cuisine of falafel! They chopped cucumber and tomatoes to accompany their handmade falafel. The group then enjoyed their feast with warm pitta and creamy hummus. Delicious teamwork!

   

   

   

Blackwell Adventure

What a fabulous day Year 4 had at Blackwell Adventure! In the beautiful sunshine they were busy shooting arrows, treking through the trees, climbing walls and swinging through the air on the crate stack.  The children embraced every activity and supported each other with words of encouragement.  They were simply amazing and we are so proud of each and every one of them!

Well done Year 4 - you are all super stars!

Famous Pharoahs

 In History, the Owls Class transformed into Egyptologists and famous Pharaohs! We had a fantastic time interviewing each other to discover key facts and stories about our ancient personas. It was a fun way to learn about Egypt’s rich history together! 

    

  

An Eggcellent Tooth Decay Investigation

Excitement is brewing in Year 4,as we investigate which drink is the biggest culprit behind tooth decay! 

Our curious scientists have made their predictions: Will it be the fizzy kick of Coke, the sweet allure of bubblegum soda, a comforting warm black tea, the robust taste of black coffee, the nourishing goodness of milk, the zesty tang of lemon juice or plain old tap water?

Stay tuned as they obsere how each liquid interacts with an egg—an eggcellent stand-in for our pearly whites. 

We can't wait to share the results that follow! Which drink do you think will win the decay challenge?

                    

 

 

Little Litter Warriors

Today, the Owls were challenged to help save the planet one piece of discarded rubbish at a time! We ventured out onto the scout field armed with buckets and litter pickers. The children were amazed that in just 60 minutes they had collected around 555 unwanted sweet wrappers, crisp packets, plastic bottles, drink cans and other littered items in such a small area.

We did our bit to save the planet today and we promise to continue our mission to re-use and recylce and to put our rubbish in the bin.

Super Science!

The Owls and Woodpeckers had a fascinating time learning about their teeth! With careful observation skills they used mirrors to examine their teeth, ate apples to check how they use all their teeth when they eat and then used all this knowledge to help them create fantastic playdough models of them. Finally, they learned the names of all the different types of teeth! What a fantastic morning of science in Year 4! 

   

   

 

Times Tables Rock Stars

Well done to the Owls and Woodpeckers who have been busy practising their times tables in the first TTRS battle of the year. They have all worked very hard and answered over 3900 questions in just one week! A special well done to the Owls who were the victorious class as well as to these children who were the most valuable players. Keep practising your tables Year 4 - it won't be long until the next battle!

Anti-Bullying Week

This week, Owls Class continued our focus on Anti-Bullying in honour of Anti-Bullying Week. In English, they created an explanation sheet all about bullying—what it is, why it happens, and how to prevent it. They did a fantastic job expressing their thoughts and ideas on such an important topic!

In addition, we joined live lessons dedicated to understanding and combating bullying. To celebrate and show our support, we all wore odd socks, symbolising the uniqueness and diversity that make us all special!

Well done, Owls, for your effort and enthusiasm in supporting Anti-Bullying Week!
