Ruby Class (Year 4)

Ruby class have made a fantastic start to the new school year and they have all settled into the new school year. 

To launch our new book, The Baker by the Sea, we stepped into the shoes of bakers for the day! The children rolled up their sleeves to learn how to make bread rolls and discovered what life as a baker is really like. It was a fantastic, hands-on experience that brought our story to life and filled our classroom with the delicious smell of freshly baked bread. We have all enjoyed reading and discussing this book together.

In Science, we have been busy learning about the digestive system and the organs involved. We went outside to draw around our peers and then we tried to place where we thought the organs were inside our bodies.

This half term in Design and Technology, we have investigated different types of fastenings, such as buttons, zips, Velcro, and press studs, learning how each is used in everyday products. We have also practised a range of sewing and joining techniques, developing their fine motor skills and creativity.

After researching and testing materials, we designed and made our own fabric book covers, carefully selecting an appropriate fastening to suit their design. Lots of us showed great perseverance and pride in our sewing, producing thoughtful and functional designs.

To celebrate Anti-Bullying week, we wore odd socks to celebrate how we are all unique and to show that it’s okay to be different.
