Class of 2021

We had a fantastic history day today learning about the Ancient Egyptians. All morning we had a workshop with Professor Tuesday, who is an expert in Egyptology. She told us about the importance of the River Nile, some of her favourite pharaohs, the timeline of Ancient Egypt and, of course, all…

Today we enjoyed exploring God’s amazing creation in the sunshine! We read a version of the story of creation and then made some creations of our own. We used natural materials to make animal pictures in groups. Some of them were real animals and some were made up ‘creations’ of our own such as…

On Thursday, Year 3 & 4 attended a Korfball tournament at Moorside School. The children (and Miss Smith!) had a great time playing this game which was new to many of them. We did not get through to the final but really enjoyed ourselves and played enthusiastically and with a positive, sporting…

We are learning about dividing with remainders and today played a fun game called Division Grab. We grabbed a handful of cube or counters and the put them into groups of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8. We got lots of points when there were lots of remainders. We found out that some numbers (like 23) gave us…

We had a great time today celebrating books and reading. We had a book cafe with some wonderful parents coming in to read to us. We also read the books we have been writing, in English, to our friends in Reception. We enjoyed a book trail around the school and even had time to fit in an online…

We have been learning about the abstract sculptures of Eva Rothschild and today we made our own. We had to really concentrate to make sure they had stability and could stay up! We really enjoyed it as you can see by our photographs.

Today, we have taken part in our Y3/4 Intra sports. We played bench ball and had to work as a team to score points. We used tactics and spatial awareness to outwit our opponents.

We have been learning about magnetism in science and today we tested the strength of different sized and different shaped magnets. We predicted which magnets would be strongest and measured their strength by counting how many objects were attracted to them.
 

Today four children from Year 3 and 4 attended a writer's workshop at Bowerham School led by the writer David Webb.  They had a really great day and learnt some great writing techniques.

We have been learning and researching all about the Stone Age and today we looked at a picture which had some historical mistakes (anachronisms) in them.  We had to try to find all 20 mistakes.  It was hard but we managed it!

This week we have been practising counting in 8s and have really enjoyed the 8x table song.

We have been learning about the amazing artist, Barbara Hepworth, who was a sculptor inspired by natural landscapes and materials. We looked at her art work and designed our own sculptures based on her famous work, The Family of Man. We worked really well in groups to shape and attach our boxes.…
