Beech Class - Year 4 | Westfield Nursery And Primary School

BEECH CLASS - YEAR FOUR

Welcome to our class page! Here you can find lots of information related to our class. As we move through the school year, you will also be able to take a look at some of our fantastic work, as part of our creative curriculum.

We pride ourselves on the positive relationships we have with the children in the class, and their parents/carers. We want the children in our class to thrive both personally and academically, and we want parents/carers to know that we will work together to do the best for their child.

If you would like to find out more about your child’s learning, or discuss any concerns you have, please do not hesitate to talk to a member of the Year 4 team (or leave a message with the main office and we will get back to you).

Thank you for your support.

Miss Armstrong-Squires and Mrs Young.

Science- States of matter

As Scientists we planned a experiment, which was a fair test, to find out which is the quickest way to melt an ice cube. We thought about what we would keep the same, change, and observe.

To understand the particle model, and how particles act in a solid, liquid and gas, we acted as the particles in a solid, liquid and gas.

We also made our own vanilla chocolate -chip Ice cream to discover how a solid, liquid or gas can change state!

PHSE- Healthy Eating

We learnt about what makes up a balanced diet with Chef Martin from Caterlink. He even taught us how to make a healthy snack we could have at break time, which we enjoyed trying!

Geography- Where would you build a settlement?

We went on a local trip to Workington Beach to look at Workington town as a modern settlement. We tried to see the human geographical features such as residential, industrial, retail, leisure and agricultural areas.
