Turquoise class have had such an exciting start to Year 4! We spent one afternoon being astounded by our teachers – carrying out a range of static electricity experiments. There were drinks cans moving, polystyrene cups being chased around the table and matchsticks moving ‘of their own accord’! This was the start of this term’s topic – Let there be light! 🔦💡☀️

Last week, we also began our Art for the term. We are studying the illustration style of artist and illustrator Oliver Jeffers. We have been looking very closely at how he illustrates his books and have learnt how to ‘ground’ trees, rocks and people by drawing shadows. We realised how important it was to identify where the light source was, in order to get the shadow in the correct place!

This is just the start and we can’t wait to find out what else Year 4 has in store for us this term.
