Week 4 in the woods...

It was the final week in the woods for group 1 and after telling Danny the week before that they were learning about the Stone Age, they were looking forward to making a bow and arrow.

As promised...

Yesterday I abseiled down Peel Tower for the charity Annabelle's Challenge. After telling the children about this experience they wanted to see the evidence! So here it is...

Science Rocks!!

This half term we will be covering the chemistry unit on rocks and soils. Our first session saw us getting out and about in the playground to look for different examples of rocks (or metals - that are made from ores found in rocks!). When we discussed this in the class the children didn't think they would find that many...






























School Council

The children voted in their class councillors who will go along to the weekly school council meetings to represent year 3/4. The children who wanted to run as councillor gave a short speech and the class voted. It was extremly close!

Estimation Station #3

This week nobody guessed the exact number...it was very tricky!! 'How many pieces of pasta are in the jar?' However, we had 2 winners who were both just 1 number away. Well done!


Celebrating writing in Y3/4

Yet more work is published on Lend Me Your Literacy! :-) Congratulations!!!
