Term 1

Year 4 Termly Overview 1

Enquiry engage- Ancient Greeks- 3rd October

On Friday, we started our brand new enquiry 'How did the Ancient Greeks influence the Western World?'. For our engage, the whole year group sat in the hall and we did a tasting session where we explored traditional Greek foods. The children had the opportunity to try greek yoghurt, olives, feta cheese, flatbread and tzatziki. There were some foods that were more popular than others but the children were really good at giving everything a go.

We really enjoyed ourselves, especially when Mrs Wilson started dancing with us to the Greek background music.

National Poetry Day- 2nd October

In Year 4, we had so much fun exploring poetry and the themes Miss Nicholas gave us. Our year group poem was called 'Skipping Rope Spell'. In 4SJ we explored the skipping theme through the means on going out onto the playground and practicing our skipping skills and we sketched a person skipping. Our drawings were amazing!

Finally 4SJ had the really important job of performing the year group poem infront of the rest of the school. We spent all afternoon rehearsing our poem off by heart and our performance was amazing!

Bristol Zoo Project trip- 18th September

4SJ had a wonderful time today exploring Bristol Zoo Project. We saw lots of incredible animals such as red pandas, meerkats, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, bears and a colourful array of birds. unfortunately not all of the children in 4SJ saw wolves but some of us did channel our inner wolves and tried to lure them out of hiding with our excellent wolf howls (it didn't work!).

At the end of our day, we went to the jungle workshop where we learnt lots of facts about wolves: where they live, how they adapt to different temperatures, how they travel together and we even got to touch some real wolf skins!

We had such a lovely day are here are just a few snippets of all the fun we enjoyed together!

Year 4 are kick starting the year with an incredible enquiry looking into the similarities and difference between humans and wolves. We will be using the books 'Wolves in the Walls' to help us introduce targets into our writing to make it engaging for our readers. 

In order to answer our enquiry question of 'Are wolves and humans similar?', we will be exploring the digestive system, teeth and food chains.
