Safari Workshops

Steph Hill (stephhill) on: Year 4 Spring Term 2022

Y4 have been visited by Knowsley Safari Park and took part in two workshops. In the 'Food Glorious Food' workshop the children were exploring the questions; “What is good for me?” and “What is good for the planet?”.They looked into how our diets not only affect our health and well being but also have an impact on the world around us. The second workshop was called 'Move Like Me'. This time the children enjoyed a range of movement and drama exercises whilst on a journey through the Rainforest.

It finally arrived! We used our Energy Rod to help use understand how we are conductors even though we are not made of metal. We made a complete circuit by holding hands and the electricity flowed through the whole class to make the lights and buzzer work. It was lots of fun!

Science Y4D

Over the past 2 weeks, Y4D have been exploring our Science topic 'Electricity'. The children have been learning how to make and draw simple circuits and they can predict the outcome for a drawn circuit. Next, we looked at what materials are conductors and insulators. We have finished the topic off by learning the importance of keeping safe when using electricity.
