Computing at Christmas with 4RN

Inspired by our Digital Leaders, 4RN were challenged to develop their programming skills using the Hopscotch iPad app. After a few productive weeks programming using Scratch, our enthusiastic pupils enjoyed applying their knowledge of Computing to quickly create a clever Christmas message.

Year 4 Egyptian Day

Wow! Our Egyptian day was epic! We made an Egyptian mint dip made from: cucumber, garlic, yoghurt, mint leaves and cumin powder. We made our delicious dip to go with our homemade, golden-brown bread. Meanwhile, we made and tasted a typical coconut milk and cardamon enthused drink. After that, we compared Gods and Goddesses and became Egyptian detectives to find out about different artefacts.

We then spent the afternoon learning an Egyptian dance to 'Walk like an Egyptian'. Dancing like an Egyptian was lots of fun; however, it used a lot of energy. Whilst being Egyptians for the day, we also had the opportunity to do some different Egyptian arts and crafts.
