Year 4 have been learning about states of matter in science. This week we continued our learning about evaporation and condensation. We did some investigations to explore water evaporating and then looked at how the gas changes back into a liquid. We also found out about the water cycle.

4B have been so busy this week. To help us with our map drawing we went for a walk around the area local to school to spot street names and features. We then drew our own route maps when we got back to school.
