*Urgent update following government announcement*

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement, from tomorrow morning, Tuesday 5th January 2021, we will move to remote learning for the majority of our children. Our School will remain open for key workers and vulnerable children as required by the Department for Education. For the families that have been contacted today with an offer of a confirmed pupil place, please send your children in as normal.  For any families whose circumstances have changed in recent months and believe they qualify for a school place, please complete this google form.  We will be in contact tomorrow morning with details of the remote learning provision and places for those parents whose circumstances have changed and have applied for a school place. 

 

 

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding during these difficult times

Urgent COVID-19 Update

After communication this morning with Public Health England and the Local Authority we have decided to have a Covid Preparation Day on Monday 4th January 2021 to finalise our plans for the Spring Term. Spring Term for the children will therefore begin on Tuesday 5th January 2021. Further communication will follow. We apologise for the short notice but I am sure you are aware of the current situation we as schools are facing.

Thank you for your continued support.

Photographs that changed the world!

Well done to all the children in years 5 and 6 for their tremendous hard work this term. They have been on a journey, exploring the development of the camera and how the world has changed as a result of iconic events, remarkable people and even several disasters!

Watch the video here to gain insight into their expedition and let them introduce you to the culmination of our journey: their rather impressive final product!

Bahhhh! Humbug!

To begin our Christmas topic, 6CC started looking at characters from Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ and have explored the texts central character, Ebenezer Scrooge. Safe to say that Mrs Doy, Mrs Gyte and myself all had a few frights in Tuesday’s literacy lesson when the children got to reenact his character description; turns out we have some very convincing performers in our midst!

 

What a result!

As you can see, our ‘Final Products’ are exceptional pieces of work. The children showed absolute resilience, working hard to produce a non chronological report about either a moth or bee. In addition, you can see the detailed pencil sketches. Here the children have used and applied different shading and tone techniques to create their own beautiful artwork of their mini beast.

Expedition Exhibition!

Here it is, the final product for our Autumn Expedition: ‘What does the human race owe to insects?’

 

The children have worked tirelessly on drafting and redrafting their written work and artwork which have yielded some quite superb outcomes.

 

Well done 4GC!
