Year 4 Brunswick Park Primary School

Year 4 getting ready to raise funds for Save the Children! We’re so proud of their enthusiasm and teamwork as they support such an important cause. 🌟 #SaveTheChildren #Fundraising @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Our parents are so enthusiastic about the learning we do that they came in to look at it with us. It was such a fun morning! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social @inclusionbpps.bsky.social

Such amazing home learning is taking place at the moment in 4a! Here are today’s offerings… @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Would you be able to spot subtle acts of racism? After looking at a range of case studies and thinking about our rights and British values, we identified the act, decided what rights were broken, empathised and presented how we would act differently. We can! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Who knew ordnance survey maps could be so informative!? We used the maps and a key code to locate both physical and human features of the land.

Using Chromebooks and mixed ability discussion, we began our new art topic by researching and forming views about famous landscape paintings and artists. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social @inclusionbpps.bsky.social

To ensure everyone can use written methods to multiply 2digit numbers, we use a range of representations- pictorial, part whole models, base ten and number lines. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social @inclusionbpps.bsky.social

We began our new book with an exploration activity… what can you infer from the contents of this suitcase? @brunswickparkps.bsky.social @literacytree.bsky.social

We had a fun time in Science @brunswickparkps.bsky.social this week creating our very own, mini water cycle.

Year 4 utilised mathematical manipulatives to support their understanding of multiplying three numbers. A productive and focused learning session.✨ @brunswickparkps.bsky.social #whiterosemaths

Year 4 explored Article 17 – the right to access safe, reliable information. We discussed where information comes from, how to judge if it’s trustworthy and why it helps us learn, stay safe and make good choices. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social #UNCRC #RightsRespectingSchools

To help us understand the role of myths in Ancient Greece, we took on the roles of some of the gods and acted out a myth linked to the changes in weather. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

We’ve been learning about article 17 which says we have a right to access information. Together, we looked at all the ways we access information @brunswickparkps.bsky.social to help us learn, communicate and stay informed about each other and the world around us.

To explore states of matter, we began by writing predictions and discussing how to make it a fair test. The children then investigated how heat changes chocolate from a solid to a liquid by comparing three heat sources: hands, a radiator and hot water.

States of matter in action today! We made predictions and discussed how to keep the test fair, then we compared hands, a radiator and hot water to watch chocolate melt from solid to liquid. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Market research in DT proved to be an explosion for our sense of taste. Some of us loved it, others didn’t. 😂 @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

In English, we planned the conversations that Shackleton may have had with the crew he left behind on Elephant Island. Drama then helped us to generate a range of adverbial phrases to use when we went on to write it up as direct speech. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

We had a wonderful time at Dulwich College last week visiting The James Caird to support our learning in English @brunswickparkps.bsky.social Peter from @dulwichcollege.bsky.social was a knowledgeable and friendly guide so we’re very grateful to have had the opportunity to visit.

Our trip to Dulwich College brought the amazing Shackleton journey to life. What an adventure! ❄️🚢 @brunswickparkps.bsky.social @dulwichcollege.bsky.social

We all enjoyed our library session today where we recited poetry to each other to practice our intonation. @inclusionbpps.bsky.social @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

As part of our maths unit on area, we explored how many rectilinear shapes with an area of 4 squares we could make. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Could you have held ice in you hand long enough to be selected for a frosty adventure in the Arctic? We gave it a good try @brunswickparkps.bsky.social as an exciting way to start our new book- Shackleton’s Journey.

Year 4 pupils have been working hard on their double-page spread leaflets about Zennor, combining facts, illustrations, and great presentation. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

When you’ve worked hard for 8 weeks, a marble treat is extra special! Pjs, movie and chrome book games was what 4a chose to celebrate filling their jar this term. Happy half term! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Before retelling the story of the mermaid of Zennor from a different perspective, we worked in mixed ability groups to sequence and retell the key events. Team work meant everyone achieved! @inclusionbpps.bsky.social @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Speed, adrenaline, acceleration, competition and MPH were just some of the words we used to represent formula 1 races in our abstract representations of race tracks for our BHM focus person- The amazing, Lewis Hamilton. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

This week in Brain Buddies, we made hats and wrote positive words to encourage ourselves and stay motivated. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

4B immersed themselves in history at the Maritime Museum, handling artefacts, making connections, and exploring powerful migration stories through interactive fun! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social 🚢👐 #HandsOnHistory #Year4

Year 4 took their Humanities learning beyond the classroom with a visit to the Maritime Museum, where they uncovered real-life migration stories that inspired and moved us. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social 🌊🧳 #Year4Adventures #Migration
