Thu 27 Jan 2022This week we have been slowly returning to some degree of normal and it has been fantastic to see returning faces but we are missing those that are not here. Get well soon if you are off.
We have been continuing to study mountains and have considered whether mountains are places tourists would like to visit and why. In English we have been continuing to learn about newspapers and next week plan to write a newspaper report about Nigel Vardy (the mountaineer who visited our school) and the incident in 1999 on Mount McKinley. In Science, we set up an experiment about evaporation and found that water evaporated when in a warmer atmosphere.

Thu 20 Jan 2022It certainly has been interesting in Year 4. We have missed many of our children and hope they are making a speedy recovery. For those of us in school, we have started a new English unit called Spy Fox, which the children have loved and have interviewed witnesses of Dr Hammer's terrible crimes! In Topic and Reading sessions, we have learned more about mountains and have set up an evaporation experiment in Science. We hope to be back to full strength next week and are looking forward to seeing you all. Have a good weekend.

Fri 14 Jan 2022This week, we have started our mountains topic and welcomed a special visitor into school. His name was Nigel Vardy and he is part of Bear Grylls' Project X, which focuses on inspirational people who have overcome difficulties and achieved. He is a climber and mountaineer. During one of his expeditions in Alaska, disaster struck and he developed frostbite, leaving him with injuries that he had to overcome. He told his story and kept everyone mesmerised. We have also learned that there are mountains in the United Kingdom and have started our art project based on mountains and the artist Nicholas Roerich.
