Absolutely fantastic team work today from Year 4! All children ensured they were working in a safe forensic environment. Congratulations to all children for solving the crime and showing a positive attitude to learning. 

Over the past two weeks we have been reading Roald Dahl’s George’s Marvelous Medicine! Today Year Four got the chance to turn their superb instruction writing into special potions. I was blown away by all the children who were able to use their speaking and listening skills to work as a terrific team. We named our potions, Golden Granola, Bursting Bubble Gum, Ghostly Googlely Spider Eyes and Rustling Red Rose! We were even lucky enough to try and trick Ms Bickerstaff with our creations.

Today the children enjoyed a fabulous workshop run by Paige Turner. They had to make freeze frames about ‘turning points’ in their favourite books. Well done to all the children who had creative ideas and superb explanations.

Well done to Year 3 for putting on a fabulous Fashion Show today! Year 4 were invited along as VIP’s to watch the Fashion Show. We were all blown away at the high quality of the costumes made. The atmosphere was sensational and we loved clapping for all the superb creations. Also, well done to Year 4 for their outstanding behaviour during the show.

Today the children took part in a First Aid Workshop which they thoroughly enjoyed. They had fantastic questions as well detailed answers. Well done to all the children in Year 4 for making the most of this exciting and essential first aid training. They all had a certificate and booklet to take home with them.

Our RE topic this half term is People of Prayer we have begun to look at the story of Sermon on the Mount in the pictures above the children are reacting the story. The children now have an in-depth understanding of why the story is such an important lesson in Matthew’s Gospel.

One of the most exciting workshops which all of KS2 love came this week! Well done to all the children for making a fabulous Rogan Josh curry.

Today the children had a wonderful workshop all about the Wizard of Oz! The children played a variety of games and had lots of fun applying what they knew about the story from our Literacy lessons to get the most out of the experience.  

During this science lesson the children were investigation how fast ice melts using different methods. This first method was using our hands to melt to ice. The second method was putting the ice cube under running water. The third method was wrapping the ice cube in tissue and the final method was leaving the ice cube in a cup of lemonade. We discovered that wrapping it in tissue meant that the ice cube stayed cold and took the longest to melt!

Our topic this half term for Science is Changes of State. We have been learning about the different properties of Solids, Liquids and Gases the children absolutely loved dancing to the solid, liquids and gases song whilst chanting all the properties!
