Year 4 chose England as their Commonwealth country. We picked the North West artist L.S.Lowry and made matchstalk men, women, children, cats and dogs.

Yesterday Emma Williams visited Year 4. She came to lead us in some singing activities. Unfortunately the Lancaster Music festival is not taking place this year so this was an alternative activity for the children. We will be performing the songs to the rest of the school when we have practised a…

Year 4 have moved on with their Gaudi topic. The children have made animal collages using his Trencadis technique.

We’ve also been working hard on our exhibit for the Art exhibition but that’s a secret for now!

Year 4 have been looking at the concepts of trust and betrayal linked to the Easter story. As an introduction to this topic we played some trust games in the playground.

Year 4 have been having fun making models of rivers with Miss Flynn in their Geography lesson.
