Today we had great fun making brownies for the local key workers in our community. With help from Michael, our school cook, we made brownies from scratch with excellent collaborative work. The brownies will be put into the packaging, made and designed by the children, and will be gifted to key workers in our community to show our appreciation for their efforts in lockdown. We will be visiting places in Thorne and Moorends this week to hand deliver our gifts. Keep your eyes posted for more Y3/4 blogs this week!

Well Crew Mumby have blown me away with their scientific knowledge this week! This half-term we’ve been learning about changing states and this week focused on the water cycle. We used active games to learn the key vocabulary that we added to our anchor chart. Using the anchor chart, every crew member created their own mini cycle based on the learning. I was very impressed by their articulation of the cycle and the way they could use scientific vocabulary. If your child is in year 4, please ask them the following questions to further their learning at home:

 

• What is the process called where the liquid becomes a gas by heat? Clue- it begins with an E

 

• What causes the gas to become a liquid again?

 

• What is the scientific word for rain, sleet, snow, hail? Clue- it begins with P

 

• Give an example when condensation occurs 

Challenge question:

True or false?

Water evaporates faster with more heat.

Can you explain why?

Thanks,

 

Mr Mumby
