We have been very busy in Year 4 celebrating British Science Week! 

As the theme this year is time, we looked at different ways that people in the past have kept time. We learnt about pendulums and had a go at creating our own pendulums. We timed them to see how long they kept swinging for. We were then set with a challenge to try to create a pendulum that would stop after 30 seconds. We added different size card to our pendulum to affect the timings. 

On Thursday, we were very lucky to be invited to Millfield to watch a science show all about liquid nitrogen. We saw amazing experiments, created and tried ice cream and even saw a huge explosion. The children all really enjoyed the show! 

In history we have been learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. This week we looked at the cave art left behind from the Stone Age which has been found in different countries. Using charcoal and oil pastels, we created art work inspired by cave paintings.
