We had a great day today learning all about the Vikings. We looked at various artefacts, learnt to row a longship and create a shield wall ready for battle. We played ‘Knucklebones’ and a game called ‘Kubb’, which is similar to tenpin bowling. Our costumes were amazing too.

This afternoon, we were investigating what happened to our bodies when we exercise. It made our hearts beat faster, made us hotter and we were out of breath.

We also learned that exercise was good for our physical health and our mental health.

Our PE this week has been a bit different as we had a visit from ‘Go Velo’ and had the chance to develop our cycling skills. The rain stayed away and we had a great time showing lots of enthusiasm and resilience.

As part of out DT topic on structure, we have been investigating different techniques for making strong stable structures using a variety of materials. We want our final shelters to be able to withstand wind, rain, wear and tear and impact, so we used our science investigation skills to test how…

We walked into our classroom this morning to find it had been destroyed. There was a letter and a picture with Evil Pea sat on our carpet spots, we couldn’t believe it. Today we made some posters to describe him so everyone knew and we also set some traps to help us try and catch him. 

We are learning about the role of archaeologists in our new history topic about prehistoric Britain. We found out that archaeologists often dig for clues about past civilisations. We decided to look for clues about the past by looking through the bins bags from the different classes in school. We…

This half term we are finding out about heroes in the community and superheroes in stories. The children are enjoying pretending to be firefighters.

Year 4 enjoyed a trip to St Paul’s church, looking for features of a church building. Thank you to Reverend Catherine for answering all of their questions!
 

We have been looking at how to keep safe indoors and outdoors. We got ourselves into character, Super safety heroes. We went to see if we could see anything unsafe or anything we need to do to do when outside to keep ourselves and everyone else safe. You should never run by a road, don’t climb…
