Table Mathematics!
Today, Year 4 have been flexing their mathematical muscles by demonstarting their recent proficiency towards grid method multipliation! These messy multiplications showed the children’s grasp and they fully enjoyed themselves. Whether this enjoyment came from the maths or writing on the tables, remains to be seen!

The power of critique
In hook week, the children drew pencil sketches of their eyes, which were fantastic. However, we weren’t done. We knew we could improve! Multiple discussions, reflections, suggestions and after a great deal of patience and perseverance, the children completed another draft (in some cases another 2 drafts). The finished products are incredible and just shows the power of this process.
Introducing… Year 4 Explanation Text Experts!
In Year 4’s English Cycle, we shall be writing explanation texts all about the human body for our expedition, ‘What Makes Us Human?’. These explanatory pieces of writing shall be aimed towards the infant school reception children and such, our texts need a friendly narrator! That’s where these characters come in… Today, we have been creating our explanation text narrators who are going to tell the infant children all about the human body and it must be said, they do look fantastic so far. I’m sure they can’t wait to explain all about science to the reception children!

Beautiful Eyes!
Year 6 spent hook week looking at light and the eye. We discovered how light travels in science lessons before moving onto our focus artist: M.C. Escher. This artist was famous for drawing an image of his own eye so we sketched our own eyes in the same style. The pupils then critiqued each others’ work and completed a second draft. They were extremely proud of the outcomes!
