Year 4 showcase afternoon

Coding with 'Espresso' software
Medusa hats











Tuesday afternoon saw the Year 4 showcase to parents. The children were able to demonstrate some of the activities that they had participated in during the year. Included among the activities were maths problems, build a sentence activities and some estimating with weights and measures. The children loved to demonstrate their chromatography activity, becoming a detective to find out who the murderer was, by analysing ink samples. The Ancient Greece topic was very popular as the children demonstrated how to make a Medusa hat and mask. The parents were also taught how to code, using Espresso software, by their children.

The children were very excited and the parents very impressed, with feedback such as, 'It is lovely to be able to see what my child learns at school.' and 'I have enjoyed working with my child today.'
