Class of 2020

We have started our new topic - Stone Age Britain - and today looked at the amazingly long time that the Stone Age lasted. We found out that prehistory means before written records and that for most of human history there was no writing! We used toilet roll to show how long humans have been living…

In Year 3 and 4 we celebrated the end of term with a great afternoon of intra-sports between the different coloured teams.  We played a version cricket (having been inspired by Coach Lauren earlier this term) and there were super catches, impressive hitting and great bowling from Mrs Winder and…

This morning in Y3 & 4 we explored the theme of “treasures. At the beginning we came up with lots of ideas linked to treasure like gold, jewels and pirates! We then did three different activities to explore the treasures we have in our lives.  We thought about different places that are special to…

We have been learning about famous sculptors and this week we are focusing on Eva Rothschild.  We designed sculptures inspired by her art works and then made our own using straws. We learnt how to attach straws together using pipe cleaners. We added pops of colour using stickers and coloured…

Today we were lucky enough to get a visit from three first team Morecambe FC players. We asked them questions about their lives and their footballing careers, their favourite players and what they had enjoyed most about school. They told us about good team work and how they deal with losing…

In maths we have started to learn about fractions.  Today we played a dice game to see who could the largest fraction. We had lots of fun!

For World Book Day we joined a live stream event with Liz Pichon (an author/illustrator) who read from her most recent Tom Gates’ book. She also taught us how to draw in her style. We were really pleased with our attempts and have made a class book with our drawings.

In science we are learning about shadows. Today we planned our own investigations to see what happens to the size of shadows when objects are nearer or further from the light source. We worked really well in our groups and pairs and did some really good scientific thinking!

Today Coach Lauren came into school to teach us skills linked to cricket. We had lots of fun aiming at the wickets and practising bowling. 
 

In art we have been learning about the artist Barbara Hepworth and how she made abstract sculptures to show her love of nature. We designed our own sculptures based on her piece The Family of Man and tried to use some of her style e.g. holes and lines. We even named our sculptures things such as…

Over the last few weeks we have been designing and making different types of prints. We have used polystyrene blocks to make prints inspired by the death mask of Tutankhamun. We also made block prints (using draught excluder tape!) in the style of hieroglyphics. We are really proud of our…
