Virtual expedition
Besides enjoying an interesting trip to the Sikh temple this morning, Robins have “virtually” travelled around the world this afternoon. The children were truly amazed to visit the Seven Wonders of the World, the Egyptian pyramids and Sphinx, the ocean and outer space. Using special visual equipment provided by Google, children were able to look around all these places in 360 degree format. This was such a fantastic experience!
Robins visit Sikh temple
As part of Year 4’s RE Sikhism topic, they visited the Sikh temple in Smethwick. They were shown around and were explained the basics of Sikhism. Robins were allowed to take part and observe the prayers in the prayer hall. After, they were taken to the langer hall (kitchen) to have free food (langer) – they all enjoyed chips and beans, some even tried the Indian food being served.
Discussing our value word – Caring
This morning, Robins discussed this months value word caring.
Mrs Sargant asked the children to give examples of when they have done something caring.

Our work in digital media
Studying digital media in Art, Robins have loved experimenting by editing photographs using the Pixlr app.
Here are some of the creations to date by Cara, Callum, Jake, Katie, Kayleigh, Naheedul, Nathanuel, Ronnie, Nila and Tiffany.
Real or fake photos
This week Year 4 Robins have been taking part in Safer Internet Week with alot of learning through lessons and assemblies.
This activity linked nicely with our our current Art theme of digital media. Children had to view 6 different images. Some had been edited, whilst some look like they have but are actually real.
The children voted whether they thought the images were real or fake, and explained their choice. The activity also encouraged critical thinking (one of our behaviours for learning) around the images.
Being an “upstander”
This week Year 4 Robins have been taking part in Safer Internet Week with alot of learning through lessons and assemblies.
Today Robins discussed their understanding and thought of examples of what a bystander is. Afterwards, they learnt all about being an “upstander” and discussed how to be one.
In groups they looked at some examples of scenarios which could occur using technology such as text conversations and forwarding of photos and emojis. Children learnt how upstanders deal with situations positively.
Mrs Knipe came into class at the end of the session and Sophie Memory explained to her what the class had learnt.
Discussing our value word – Caring
This month’s value word is caring. The class shared times when they have been caring or have seen a good example of it.
Digital media editing
Robins have been taking photos of each other and of local buildings they could see from the playground.
This week they had the opportunity to edit these using the Pixlr app and really enjoyed being creative and curious, experimenting and discovering how they could change photographs.
