This week in the Wildlife Garden, the Owls and the Blackbirds used the space to show off and practise our Maths knowledge. We used chalk to do the 3 and 6 times tables and tested each other. Then we used the metre rulers to practise measuring objects in the Garden. Have a look at some […]
This morning, Year 4 were lucky enough to go and visit the underground river outside the school building. This was inspired by the drain from which Krindlekrax emerges in our Literacy book, ‘Krindlekrax’ by Philip Ridley. The Heathwall river has been largely forgotten, as it has been covered up for more than 150 years! The […]
This afternoon, the Owls collected material from the Wildlife Garden including leaves and sticks. We discussed why leaves are changing from green and used the lovely colours to make artistic leaf displays. Have a look at some of our efforts! Afterwards, we recycled all the leaves back into the compost heap in the Wildlife Garden!
Today, Year 4 were lucky to have a session with Poet, Karl Nova. He talked about RAP standing for Rhythm and Poetry, then created a Haiku with the children. To finish off, he freestyled a rap including words chosen by the children and included a poem that the children had learned during the session. Check […]
This afternoon, we created a display for our classrooms based on the novel we are reading, Krindlekrax by Philip Ridley. Having written a setting description already we set about drawing and then painting Lizard Street, where the hero lives.

In the Wildlife Garden this afternoon, we considered what signs there were that Autumn is coming. We also gathered sticks and played a game in which your partner closes their eyes and you give them a stick. They feel it, put it back in the pile and then have to guess which one it was! […]
The past few days, Year 4 have been exposed to the concept of 1000s for the first time. We used dienes and place value counters to understand thousands. Please do support your children using place value columns at home if you get the chance!

This afternoon, the Owls enjoyed the opportunity to mimic the art seen in the Whole School text: “The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse”. There are some lovely pen-only drawings so we tried to draw pen-drawn trees.
At the same time, we had a cooking table in the corner of the classroom where we […]
Today we talked about tomatoes and went to see the sprawling vines of tomatoes that have grown so well over the summer. The children thought of some really interesting questions such as whether they are fruits or vegetables and whether you can eat green tomatoes.
We even found a rather large courgette!
Over the past few weeks, Mrs Macrory’s bubble have been practising hard to perfect a dance routine! They were unable to do it in front of an audience so please do check it out here!
