September 2019 - All about Space

This month 4th class were learning all about Space. They made parachutes for Lego men in Science and investigated which materials worked best for their parachutes: plastic, cloth or tissue. They had great fun testing out their parachutes. In Art they created Space pictures using chalk and in English they read about the first humans in space. 

April - Design of Homes/Rooms

This month 4th class looked at homes through the ages and the changes in architectural style over the years. They also looked at how homes and buildings are becoming more environmentally friendly and came up with some ideas of their own. They then created their own modern designs for rooms and homes using recyclable material. I think you'll agree that the boys and girls from 4th class did a fantastic job designing their homes/rooms. We may have some future interior designers and architects in our class!
