In Year 4, we have been looking at food chains and identifying producers, consumers, predators and prey. We have also studied the digestive system. This week, we dissected an owl pellet, which is the undigested part of an owl's food that is regurgitated. We were able to identify what the owl's prey was. It was very interesting!!

This week, Year 4 attended an orchestral performance at the Philharmonic. The theme was ‘Going for Gold’ and was inspired by the Paris 2024 Olympic. Each piece cleverly represented a different sport by using the different instruments in the orchestra. The children really enjoyed this experience and had the chance to be the conductor and sing along with the orchestra.

On Wednesday, we were fortunate to have an illustrator come in to show us how to draw faces and figures. We applied these skills and started to draw Roman soldiers.
