Spring

We have enjoyed starting our Angry Planet topic.

We have started to find out about natural disasters in Europe. We have loved making exploding booklets all about Europe.

In science, we have started to learn about states of matter and have carried out enquiries to explore changes of state.

In literacy, we have written persuasive letters and we are starting to read and explore poems. This half-term we have also enjoyed gymnastics, coding in computing and hockey.

We always love reading with our Y1 buddies.

ART

Our art this half term has been based on still life and we have started to create clay fruit tiles.

First we looked at still life art work (modern and traditional). Then we made observational drawings of fruit. Next we planned our fruit tiles on paper squares and we copied these designs onto tiles. Have a look - we think they look amazing.

They will be bisque fired then painted using coloured slip. Finally, they will have a second firing. We can't wait to see how they turn out!

Schools Linking

We love our schools linking project! This term we have been thinking about how we can live well together. We have thought about the importance of kindness and of helping others. Small actions can make a big difference. We are planning to carry out some social action in the local area.

Autumn 2

Ancient Greek Day

We have had a fantastic Ancient Greek workshop today with lots of hands-on learning. Take a look at some of our photos...

Wildflower planting

We had a brilliant morning planting wildflower plugs in the Ladybrook Valley meadow.
The children were all enthusiastic, excited and very well behaved! We planted around 300 plants! It will be lovely to go and visit the area in the spring or summer to see how much they have grown and how much wildlife they are encouraging. What a great example of helping in the community and social action. Well done Year 4 :-) We are very proud of you all!
