Year 4 enjoyed this half terms library trip on Thursday morning. We listened to a story from Catherine the librarian, before returning our books and swopping them for something new.
This week, in Y4 for our character reflection in worship, we focused on VE Day, reflecting on the love shown during hard times, and the sacrifices of others.
KS1 Spanish Club had the best time with Mr Rundle during their first session. They learned all about animals and consolidated their knowledge by playing some games of bingo!
Year 4 continued their history learning this week by looking at Ancient Sumerian inventions. We looked at a variety of inventions and then tried to predict what they were and how they were used.
Year 3 had a fab afternoon exploring shadows as part of their new science topic. We explored the nature garden to see what shadows we could find, before we went onto the yard and drew our own shadows, thinking the placement of the sun. We loved ended the afternoon toasting marshmallows around the fire!
Yesterday, Y2 took part in their first orienteering lesson in PE. We used the map of the school grounds to locate symbols that were placed all around. We were very good at finding all of the tricky hidden spots!
Year 4 had a special visitor in class today! As part of our science topic ‘Electrical Circuits and Conductors’, we had Paul, an electrician, come in to help us build our own circuits! We looked at how we could construct a circuit to make a light bulb, motor and buzzer work, and then experimented we different circuits to see if we could identify errors and how to solve them.
Year 4 started their new DT topic ‘Tomb Builders’ today. We looked at simple machines, and looked at different mechanisms to see if we could identify what simple machine had been used.
Last week, as part of our English topic, year 4 looked at comic strips. We looked at features of a comic, and then created a story board of own, thinking about our characters speech.
Year 4 loved starting their new PE unit this week. We are focusing on athletics and completed a cool task around javelin, hurdles and long jump. Well done Year 4!
