Year 5 enjoyed visiting the library this week. We listened to Catherine reading a story, and then loved looking through all of the new books! We took lots of books back to school linked to all of our autumn topics for our reading corner too. 
Year 5 have loved starting their new PE unit off swimming, and have been focusing on their back crawl this week
Year 5 have been continuing mastering times tables in guided maths, and have been working hard on practicing their multiples this week.
Year 5 have loved delving straight into their first maths unit of place value, and have been using the practical resources to help further our understanding.
Year 4 have LOVED our Fit 4 Fun morning. We enjoyed all of the different stations, including cheerleading, football, rugby, tennis and even an obstacle course!
Year 4 took their maths learning outside last week! We learned more about coordinates and did this in a more practical way and became a human X and Y axis! We had to find the coordinates of Mr B on the graph 
Year 4 had a fabulous Forest school this week! Linked to our DT topic of Tomb Builders, we explored pulleys and levers. We were challenged to work in teams to devise our own pulley system to find an easy way to lift a bucket of water, which really put our problem solving skills to the test! After, we looked at how we could follow instructions to make our own levers, which we had lots of fun testing out!
With it being our final Forest school session of year 4, we also enjoyed some s’mores around the campfire, wowing Mrs O’Doherty with our knowledge of fire safety, and outstanding behaviour across the afternoon!
What a gorgeous afternoon Year 4 have had at our Sunshine Funtime Family Day! We enjoyed sharing lots of mindful activities with our parents and carers, as well as enjoying some popcorn round the campfire!
Year 4 had their final visit of the year to the library. As always, we loved hearing Catherine read to us and then returned our books ready for our next visit in Year 5!
Yesterday, year 4 completed their final gold pieces of work in art! We created tile motifs linked to Islamic Art and brought together all of their learning around this. We had to use skills with the clay and created relief work, this means we had to make some parts 3D and some parts had to be carved out.
Wow our final pieces were brilliant and our evaluations were fantastic!
