This afternooon, we enjoyed creating a prototype of a mechanism using levers and linkages. It was quite a challenge! Many of us demonstrated good fellowship by helping friends who needed support #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We enjoyed solving our maths problem today using a variety of methods. Some of us chose to use manipulatives, whereas others chose repeated addition and column multiplication ❌ @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

Today, we made our torches 🔦 Using our designs, we decorated our torches to suit the needs of our user. Then, we created a working circuit and secured this inside the housing of the torch #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

In DT this half term, we will be making torches 🔦 To begin our learning, we used electrical components to create a simple series circuit. After that, we made a connection switch to use in our circuit #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

Marching our way through Chester #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

We had a wonderful trip to Chester Grosvenor Museum today. We marched to the amphitheatre with Roman shields to practise our battle formations🛡 #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

We went on a Psalm trail around our school grounds 🌳 We read each one to understand more about the nature of God. We found out that lots of psalms use imagery to describe God. For example he is described as a shepherd, shield and rock 🐑 🛡 🪨 @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

We enjoyed painting in the style of Paul Cézanne 🎨 We used short, angular brush strokes @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

VARMINTS ARE HERE! We made a very strange discovery in our classroom this morning. Someone had left us clues and a letter. We used our English lesson today to record investigative questions about our discovery #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

We loved using our library this morning to enjoy all of the wonderful books 📚 We had some time to share the books with our classmates and then we each chose a book to take home #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

We enjoyed experimenting with a range of different media to draw Roman artefacts #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

Today, we created still life drawings in the style of Giorgio Morandi ✏️ We worked as a team to arrange the objects in the middle of our table and then sketched what we could see. We also added shading and highlights to show the light in our drawings @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

We enjoyed using the iPads to practise our times tables today. We played games on Times Table Rockstars @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

Here are some of our kennings poems. Can you guess what each of them is describing?

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

Today, we were lucky enough to work with @Blandpoet. We had lots of fun in our assembly this morning, listening to many of Ian’s wonderful poems and then this afternoon, we worked with Ian to create some of our own Kennings poems. They were fabulous! @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

[St Philips Year 4 - Miss Lester @StPhilipsY4A]

One of our classmates was so inspired after Ian Bland’s visit yesterday, he rushed home and wrote a poem about him. He was delighted to present it to Ian, today!
