In Science, the children were given a 'mystery mixture' containing solids and liquids. They were provided with a range of equipment to separate the mixture, but had to predict which item would be best to separate each material. Once they had made their predictions, they had a go at doing this in their groups! As they started to separate the materials, they found more mystery materials in the bottom of the mixture! 

During Science, Year 4 have been learning about states of matter. They had a go at sorting out objects into categories including 'natural', 'man-made', 'solids' and 'liquids'. The children enjoyed discussing a range of questions such as 'Are all liquids colourless?'; 'Can you spill a solid?' and 'What happens if you tilt the container a liquid is in?'. They have written a range of questions that they also want to find out during this topic.

We have been working on colour mixing in art, using knowledge of the colour wheel to experiment with primary, secondary and tertiary colours, shades and tones. The children have practised their skills using watercolour paints and a variety of brushes.

Across the school the children have been taking part in a range of activities to encourage them to make healthy choices during Healthy You Week.

Here you can see Seahorse, Polar Bear,  Kestrel, Giraffe and Zebra Class taking part in a short burst of exercise. Falcon Class making sure they are staying hydrated and Toucan Class enjoying a healthy snack together.

In Year 4, we have started to learn and develop hockey skills, including using the correct grip and how to perform an accurate push pass.
