    Year four have enjoyed kicking off the summer term with investigating, designing and making their own torches.

We are looking forward to including additional design features as our next step. 

    In computing, we have been animators and so far have investigated different types of animation and learnt about some features of animation programs, such as 'onion skinning' (a technique to see and work with several frames at once).

    In music lessons, we have been appraising songs by the Beatles and accompanying these with singing and instruments. We are really looking forward to creating our own compositions linked to these songs.
