Performing for the Oldmixon Christmas Showcase.
Year 4 learnt sign language so they could perform "Joy to the World." Some of the children learnt to play the introduction on chime bars. It went really well.

MONOPRINTING
Year 4 have been making use of ipads and laptops this week to progress their learning. Many of the programmes we use at school are available to them at home, such as SEESAW and ACTIVE LEARN (Bug Club and Power Maths). Children have their log in details and passwords for the apps and websites. For links to these sites click on the Home Learning tab.
Here are year 4 studying maps in geography. Our topic in humanities is The British Isles. We found out about scale and had a go at drawing an object to scale.
Anti-Bullying Week
At Oldmixon this week we have focused on Anti-bullying, discussing what bullying is and the terrible effects it can have on people. On Monday we wore odd socks to draw attention to bullying and how we all have a part to play in stopping it.
Our assembly this week was about bullying and how being kind can help -even to people we don't know.
Year 4 raised money for BBC's Children in Need campaign by dressing up in spots and making a donation. Highlights of the day included eating spotty cakes and cookies at break as well as watching the Children in Need duck race.

Following instructions and managing our equipment were skills that we have been working hard to improve. We had a chance to see how well we were doing on an independence and resilience day. At the end of a hard day's work we chose from a selection of "take 5" relaxation activities.

Year 4 are continuing to focus on their independent learning skills and building their resilience. They have been making good use of their checklists, charts and classroom displays to move their learning on.
As usual, science was interesting and challenging this week. The investigation was to observe that some materials change state when the temperature changes. We worked scientifically; made predictions, observations and evaluations about melting solids, recording our results about melting ice in a histogram.
In Design Technology (DT) we are working towards designing a page for a young child's book. We will be using a mechanism to make the book more attractive and the story come to life. Here are some of our ideas for using a pivot and lever.
Here we are practicing our scientific enquiry skills. We were given toothpaste, cotton wool, shaving cream and cous cous. Our challenge was to identify solids, liquids and gases, applying our knowledge to sort them into a Venn diagram.
