Year 4

Year 4

In the summer term, Year 4 have been learning about the water cycle. They investigated how water moves from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere and back again. They also applied previously taught knowledge on changes of state, linked to temperature, to explain how water is able to move in a continuous cycle.

After this, they learned about the current issues facing the water cycle and how changes to weather patterns, due to climate change, is impacting on our world.

Does change always make things better?

The children have written water pledges to show their commitment to looking after one of our most precious natural resources.

4H’s Water Pledges

On Friday 11th March, Year 4 took part in a tree planting project with support from their parents and the Ribble Rivers Trust. This was a spectacular community project on our school grounds that supports biodiversity in the local area and helps reduce the effect of air pollution around Stoneyholme.
We have planted around 100 trees, that are native species, on our school grounds. The species are silver birch, rowan, field maple, hawthorn, goat willow, crab apple and bird cherry.
As our school has now increased the number of native tree cover in the UK, we have also honoured The Queen’s Green Canopy project to celebrate The Platinum Jubilee. The Queen’s mission to “Plant a tree for the jubilee.” across the UK has been a massive success at Stoneyholme!

Well done Year 4!
