Summer term
SCIENCE
Year 4 learnt about the impact of litter on our environment. Students walked around the school grounds, picking up the litter using gloves and litter pickers. They sorted this waste into compost, recycling and general bins and learnt how to dispose properly.
The lesson taught them how litter harms the environment and the importance of keeping our spaces clean.
DT
Year 4 children explored how to create a circuit and vocabulary such as LED, bulb, battery, battery holder, electricity, conductors and insulators. They used wires to connect their batteries with the bulb and light it up and were also able to add switches, turning it on and off.
