Year 3 Latest News
Fri 04 Feb 2022Year 3 had a wonderful trip out this week to Creswell Crags. The learnt about the Stone Age and how different people ate and hunted. They built shelters, threw spears, went into a cave with helmets and torches and also built skeletons of stone age animals. It was a brilliant day and everyone was so well behaved. I was really proud of them all.

Year 4 Latest News
Thu 03 Feb 2022It's been great to have most of the children back in Year 4 this week. In English, we've been writing a newspaper report on Nigel Vardy and the events that took place on Mount McKinley. We've also been learning about Earthquakes and looking at the aftermath of these. It's been lovely to see some of the amazing homework that has been bought in, especially the towering mountains that are on display. We're looking forward to learning more about mountains next week with our Mountain Day.

Year 4 Latest News
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.

Year 4 Latest News
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.
