Yesterday, Year 4 had the fantastic opportunity to venture up to Campsmount to take part in an afternoon of scentific discovery! We made sandtimers, pendulums and exploded some balloons with oranges! The children had a brilliant time!
A wonderful World Book Day was enjoyed by all yesterday! The children in 4TE started the day being welcomed into school by Willy Wonka himself! Then, they spent the morning with Year 3 before becoming immersed in all things pirates in the afternoon! It was a really lovely day and a great way to end the week!
5HJ show-cased their musical ability during last week’s performance to parents. The children have been taking part in weekly ukulele lessons with the fabulous Mr Nicklin and learnt some fabulous songs. Parents were so impressed with the talent shown! 😊
Recently, 4TE have discovered that our English writing focus for this half-term is to create a setting description! To get us started and show the importance of being incredibly detailed and specific, the children had a go at describing different settings to their partner (without their partner seeing) with their partner then having to draw the setting being described to them! There were some very creative pieces of work created from some very detailed and specific narrators!
A massive well done to the fabulous children who took part in the Christmas musical last night. They put on a super performance, sang their hearts out and delivered their lines like oscar worthy actors. Their hard work, giving up their lunch times, staying after school and being pulled out of classes paid off, with them giving a performance of a lifetime. Well done to everybody who took part, we are incredibly proud of you!
