Happy Holidays

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine wherever you are.

Keep your brain sharp while you are resting by playing some fun quick mental maths games here.

Don't forget to be exploring the local habitat too, and start collecting interesting things to bring in next term. Can you identify any of the rocks you have found?

If you'd like to stay one step ahead have a look at these food chain activities to give you some ideas about the things we'll be learning next term.

Stay tuned to our blog!

Year 4 are getting into arguments!

We are looking at writing persuasively and arguing this week - join the debate! We are discussing whether we agree with opening caves up to the public, if it means risking the welfare of a rare bat species.  Look at this website to help you remember the rules for persuasive writing.

Reading Partners

On a summery afternoon, Years 3 and 4 teamed up to enjoy reading with partners in the sunshine.

Classroom Caves

We have made bats to live in the cave in our classroom.

Year 4 have been making their own stalagmites and stalactites. The string is dangling in water that has bicarbonate of soda dissolved in it. It's slowly crystallising on the string, getting bigger and bigger everyday.. watch this space!!
