Oldham Art Gallery - May 19, by Mr Jolly
Date: 15th May 2019 @ 4:40pm
On Wednesday 15th May, 4J visited Gallery Oldham. We had a look around the gallery and found many examples of patterns. We went onto design our own pattern on a polystyrene tile and roller printed it onto fabric. Next half term, we will be learning how to sew and will use this skill to transform these prints into a cushion. We have some fabulous designers in 4J. Well done for super behaviour as always.
Sacred Heart Church Visit-May 2019, by Mrs Cavill
Date: 9th May 2019 @ 4:52pm
On Wedneday 8th May Year 4 took a wet and windy walk down the road to Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church. This was part of our R.E unit entitled "Are all Churches the Same?" We met Father Kevin at Sacred Heart and he spoke to us about the layout of his Church and some of the religious artefacts and books. The children were acompanied by two parent volunteers and a school governor, as well as staff. Thank you so much for your help. We have received e-mails commending the behaviour of the children and Mrs Cavill and Mr. Jolly are super proud of the mature way the children conducted themselves. Well done
STEM Week - April 2019, by Mr Jolly
Date: 2nd May 2019 @ 5:19pm
At the beginning of the week, we read the Bible Story Genesis 3. This story starts in the Garden of Eden and is called The beginning of Sin. In this, Adam and Eve are in the Garden of Eden. God tells them that they can eat fruit from any of the trees apart from the large one in the middle. A snake tells Eve to go ahead and eat from the tree despite God’s commandment. Eve is tempted and she goes against God. We wondered why she had decided to do this so we investigated in Science whether senses affect our temptation?
We tasted some baked beans. This of us that liked them thought they were lovely. We then took away people’s sight by blind folding them.
We wanted to find out if what children heard about the food would put them off. This also allowed us to see if the blindfolded children were affected by what they heard The other children shouted in horror when they saw green baked beans and green custard arrive in the classroom. The blindfolded children were a little unsure but bravely accepted the challenge: finding out that we should try not to rely on just one of our senses. We concluded that our senses have a massive impact on whether or not we can resist temptation.
Later on, we conducted an experiment based on the famous Rowntree’s Fruit Pastille adverts about how long we could have a sweet in our mouths before being tempted to chew.
The challenge faced was to see how long can you do before you chew! This used Maths skills to measure and record timings, collating data from the table and posing further question we could investigate. Year 4 were very good at resisting the temptation to chew.
After this, we used technology to record adverts, pretending we were the snake, to tempt Eve to try the fruit from the tree, just as the adverts had tempted people to take on the no chewing challenge. Children recorded thinking about camera angles and close ups etc. Some children even found appropriate music to accompany their different characters.
Finally, we used engineering and designing to put around the trees we had made to help Eve resist her temptation. We made a circuit containing a trip switch so that a buzzer or security light would go off if anyone went near the tree.
