Year 4 had an amazing time creating lovely tie-dye patterns. We had loads of fun learning about how natural materials were better for dying and where they come from. We used our marvellous maths skills to measure and mix the dyes with Mrs Jago; we chose three bright colours; ultramarine, emerald green and turquoise. We are very proud of our creations, we hope you think they’re amazing too!
Theo is keeping up with his goalkeeper training and we think he’s brilliant. Here’s a little video to show what he does in his training sessions. Well done Theo.
This half-term, during our gardening session, Year 4 had the very important job of planting the garlic. We learnt that each single clove of garlic planted can grow into a new bulb, which is made up of ten new cloves! We quickly did some mental maths and worked out that for every one bulb (ten cloves) that we planted, we will be growing 100 new cloves! Other jobs included: collecting leaves to place in the compost bins, creating a bug hotel and helping to make pancakes around the fire pit for everyone to share. We ate our pancakes with banana and Nutella whilst singing some Christmas carols to entertain Emma.
In Year 4, after our visit to Whitburn Methodist Church, we thought about ways in which we could help people in our local community. One of the charities that the Church supports is Hospitality & Hope in South Shields. The charity has a foodbank, a clothes bank, a soup kitchen and also a shower and washing machine for people to use when they visit. We are very grateful to all of our parents, carers and extended families who have been collecting old clothing to donate to this very important cause. Miss Peart has delivered a mountain of bags to their warehouse unit and all of the staff were overwhelmingly grateful.
