Science Week! Year 4 have been exploring how to slow the rate of descent of a falling object.
After potato practice, we used eggs! It was egg-citing! Egg-cellent! Egg!

There’s a ‘pavilion’ different designs that could have been chosen, but these stood out today!

Year 4 have been investigating the different pitches created by different materials, and how impact can affect volume.

‘Sew’ look what we got up to this week! We’ve been in ‘stitches’ having a great time creating book covers!

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Investigating the mysterious properties of gases! Lots of questions explored today such as ‘Why doesn’t the paper get wet?’ And ‘Why does a fully inflated balloon weigh the same as an empty one?’

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Can you dig it? Today, we were archaeologists and discovered Ancient Greek pottery remains. We pieced them together to see if we could gather clues about what life was like in those times.

@Year3Somers Kenya name any other cities now?

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Please to ‘metre’! Our children ‘weighted’ for this lesson for a long time. They had the ‘capacity’ to measure in THREE different ways during our practical maths lesson. They really enjoyed themselves!

¡Hola!
¿Can we ‘geog’ your memory with some geography lesson starters? Today, we worked together to identify features of Spain.

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Big debate between the children, is cream a liquid or a solid?

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

We had a solid science lesson today. Can you gas how much fun we had?

Come dine with me - Year 4 edition. Take a look at these biscuits we made as part of our DT lessons.

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

All aboard! We’ve been looking at which metal is the best ‘conductor’ of electricity.

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed learning about black history recently. We focused on the great boxer, Muhammad Ali and the struggles he overcame. We also made Gee Band patterns as a class!

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Today, we were ‘conducting’ an experiment to see which materials let electricity flow through them! Year 4 have thoroughly enjoyed our science topic this half term.

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Today, we completed a hot seating activity during our English lesson. The aim was to immerse ourselves in a character’s emotions.

Well done to our Year 4 cross country runners! You did us proud!

[Somers Heath PE @HeathSomers_PE]

The Year 4 Cross Country the am at the @ThurrockSSP event. The girls came 13th!

This week we have been switching it up! Our electricity unit continues as we explore the effect a switch has on an electrical circuit. We’ve also experimented with other items we could put in our circuit that allow electricity through them. They are called ‘conductors’.

[Year 4 Somers Heath @SomersHeath4]

Bzzzt! Year 4 are ‘current’ly (get it?) studying electricity. Here we are exploring a variety of circuits to understand the effect of adding/removing equipment.

Year 4 have recently been learning to follow a biscuit recipe in DT. We had a great time sampling them once they were made!
