Class of 2017

Today we looked at lots of different versions of Bibles. We were amazed at the different names they were given like The Adventure Bible and The Message. They also had very different covers. Lots of us liked the colourful ones and they reminded us of the bright colours in creation.  Some of the…

Today we helped our Reception buddies to ice and decorate a biscuit. After we had finished our decorating we were allowed to eat our creative masterpieces in the playground. 
It has been lovely to get to know our new friends and we are looking forward to meeting up again very soon.

Today we were visited by the brilliant Rock Kidz in tour.

We had a fantastic time and all enjoyed shouting,  “YASBA” - You’re awesome so BE awesome! It was a great start to term - reminding us how wonderfully different and special each one of us is.

It was great to see everyone back together in school today. We started the year thinking about the importance of working together as a team. We worked on lots of different outdoor challenges together and found out the importance of listening, communicating, being creative, making mistakes and…

Year 4 have been busy sewing their purses. They had to design them, create a pattern, cut out the felt and work out how to fasten them together. Some children found the sewing really difficult but everyone persevered and all the children have a lovely finished product.

Year 4 have been making houses with security lights in DT. First we had to design and make a house out of a cardboard box. Next we had to have a doormat which had foil on the underside. We constructed an electrical circuit using a battery, a bulb in a holder and three wires. The end of the…

Today, Year 4 had their French Day. The children dressed up as French characters or in the colours of the French flag, ate French food and completed a quiz. Outside in the playground we played boules and croquet, fortunately it wasn’t too sunny! In the afternoon we had an Eiffel Tower building…

Today, we have been identifying different living creatures. We have thought of lots of questions to separate each living thing and used them in our own classification key.

In the White Rose Maths Scheme there is a tortoise called Tiny who unfortunately, often gets things wrong. Today Year 4 had a visit from a tortoise called Tortelli. Hopefully he’s much better at maths!

This week we have been carrying out debates. In groups, we have researched facts about different topics such as homework, watching television, PE in schools and uniform. We have used persuasive language to argue for or against each topic. The rest of the class then had to vote for the most…

Year 4 learnt all about rivers last term, but today they had the chance to take a journey down the River Lune, from its source at Newbiggin-on-Lune in Cumbria all the way down to the estuary beyond Glasson Dock. We started off at St. Helen's Well where we were surprised to find very little water…

We had a lots of fun today using different instruments to create our own Samba Bamba band and we certainly got into the groove dancing to the music.
