Class of 2021

This morning, Year 4 cooked their own Welsh Rarebit as part of their Design and Technology topic. They chopped the bread into festive shapes, grated the cheese, mixed the ingredients and spread it onto their bread. After a few minutes under the grill, it was ready for tasting. Yum!
 

Year 4 have had a fantastic afternoon playing Christmas dodgeball. They were fair and honest, showing great sportsmanship and teamwork. Well done Year 4!
 

This half-term, Year 4 have been busy learning all about landscape paintings of harbours. They have taken inspiration from the work of Dorian Spencer-Davies, Sara Holden and Chas Jacobs to create their own final piece using watercolours. Well done Year 4!

Jambo! Today we had a wonderful visitor - Peter - who is a wildlife photographer. He lives in Kenya and told us all about some of the animals that he has encountered there. He has zebras outside his house who eat his grass every day so he doesn’t need a lawnmower!  He told us about the mountain…

It was lovely to have Isabella's mum come into school today to teach us some Chinese words and tell us the story behind the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac.  We found out that all the children in the class were either born in the year of the rooster or the year of the monkey.  We then had a go at…

We had a fantastic day today, visiting Williamson Park. We visited the Butterfly House where we learned about the life cycle of butterflies and also different habitats. It was a chance to experience the conditions in a rainforest, which is our current geography topic.  We also handled some of the…

Today we had a great time trying out crown green bowling with Coach Dan. It was lovely and sunny and we really enjoyed trying a different sport. It wasn’t always easy to hit the target but we showed great perseverance and determination (even in the heat!).
