    Year 4 have had a very busy week. We had two Panthers Ice Hockey players join us on Tuesday afternoon who came in to share how much money we have raised for school by going to see them at their games. On Friday, we were also lucky enough to meet a Great Athlete and have a sports session with him, we were very inspired by his achievements. On Thursday, it was poetry day and the theme was play, we had a go at writing our own poems inspired by the theme. In English, we finished publishing our English unit on writing a set of instructions on how to make an Egyptian plaque and started our new Narrative unit inspired by the book Marcy and The Riddle of The Sphinx. In Maths, we have moved onto lots of work on Roman Numerals, even adding and subtracting with them. In Science, we looked at a scientist called William Beaumont and his remarkable experiment to find out how our stomach digests food. In Topic, we learnt all about daily life in Ancient Egypt, what they wore, what they ate and drank and what their homes were like etc. On Monday next week, it is Egyptian day and are really looking forward to learning lots more about the ancient Egyptians. The spellings for next week are below. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Fun week in year three. We met the Nottingham Panthers on Tuesday, had athletes in school on Friday and also it was poetry day on Thursday. We have really enjoyed learning about the stone age family ‘The Croods’ in English and grammar lessons and working with numbers lines in maths. Spanish is great fun, with the children now perfecting their Spanish phonic starters and again learning the properties of rock and where they came from during our science lessons. Spellings and phonics are going well in the morning and these are below for next week to practise.
