Solids, Liquids and Gases

In science, Year 4 have been investigating states of matter - learning all about solids, liquids and gases. We explored how particles move in each state by acting them out in groups: solids stayed close together, vibrating slightly; liquids flowed around one another; and gases spread out, moving freely around the room! We also sorted different materials into the correct categories. It was a fun, active way to understand how the world around us is made up of different states of matter.

Artefacts and Timeline Work

As part of our Ancient Egyptians topic, the classroom was transformed into a mini museum! Year 4 took part in a carousel activity, exploring different artefacts from Ancient Egypt. The children examined pictures of the artefacts closely, discussing what they might have been used for and coming up with thoughtful questions to research further. We then worked in groups to create a timeline of key Ancient Egyptian events, putting them in the correct chronological order. It was a fascinating way to bring history to life!
