Love to Read

This week we have began our Love to Read lessons. Year 4 returned to school after the holidays to find a mysterious bag left. We used our investigation skills to question where this bag is from and who it belongs to. In the bottom of the bag was a book called ‘Smile!’. From reading the blurb, we discovered the bag belonged to Flash who had been in a plane crash and ended up having to be saved in the desert. We can’t wait to find out what happened to him…

Steady Hand Game- Design and Technology

In our DT lessons, we have been looking at planning and creating an electrical circuit game. Today, the children really enjoyed creating their own steady hand game which they then had a go at playing.

Year 4 Children In Need

There was no need for face paint today due to all of the hot, red faces after dancing and keeping fit for Children in Need. Year 4 had a great time and a great time and gave it there all. Well done and thank you to Mr Mountford for arranging it.

Remembrance

This week, Year 4 have been celebrating remembrance day. We have learnt what remembrance is, and why we celebrate it. Everyone in school created their own poppy and we took them into assembly to create our own poppy field. We also held a two minute silence in respect to the soldiers who fought for our country.

Year 4 have been very lucky today to have the fantastic Pep the Poet in our school. Pep visited our classrooms to deliver a poetry workshop where he read some of his own poems. We all had lots of fun and he even got some of the children to dress up as pirates!
