In maths we have been  measuring our arm lengths and hand spans and other body parts. This was part of our work on measure. We have also done a lot of work with weights in kilograms and grams. Also we have learnt about perimeters.

We also learnt about Leonardo Da Vinci Vitruvian Man. He believed that the proportions and measurements of the human body, which was divinely created, were perfect and correct.

Most recently in class four's science lessons we have been learning about reversible and irreversible changes e.g. water to ice. Also we have been doing lessons about the pulse rate which is measured in B.P.M, (beats per minute)  We did an experiment in the school hall where we did different activities to measure changes of our pulse rate . At the start of the school year we were looking at the skeleton,joints, ligaments and muscles . As well as this we learned about the human circulatory or cardiovascular system which pumps blood around the body.        written by Luis W.

In Class 4 in history we have been learning about World War 2. We have learnt what transportation was like when people were being evacuated, they used trains, buses and boats. We also learnt about encouraging posters for women and children, farmers and soldiers. We also learnt about rationing and how much food they would get in one week. Lots of foods were rationed like, sugar, meat, tea, eggs, jam, sweets and milk. People were also encouraged to grow their own fruit and vegetables. 

People in the war would work together as it was a very hard time.

In P.E. we've been learning gymnastics and doing a routine with a partner which is called a sequence. We had to include 8 different elements such as an asymmetrical shape, balances, symmetrical rolling and jumping actions. The sequence must include a change of direction and a change of level and incorporate mirror or matching shapes and balances.
