We’ve had a wonderfully busy and productive week! As scientists, we explored the fascinating world of magnets—discovering how they work and learning practical ways to use them. We even created our own working compasses using a magnet, a compass template, and a tray of water. As writers, we

We’ve had another fantastic week of learning! As scientists, we investigated the fascinating world of magnets. We explored magnetic poles and discovered how magnets can both repel and attract each other. We also posed an intriguing question: Can a magnetic field pass through different materials? Using a simple paperclip, we

We’ve had another fantastic and action-packed week in Years 3 and 4, filled with exciting new learning! As writers, we completed, edited, and published our final drafts of non-chronological reports about Viking Gods. The children produced work full of fascinating facts and beautiful writing. As scientists, we explored

What a fantastic week in Year 3 and 4! As scientists, we explored the concept of friction by testing different surfaces using ramps and toy cars. We made predictions, carried out experiments, and drew conclusions from our findings. As mathematicians, we continued investigating area, comparing different shapes and

It’s been wonderful to welcome the children back after the half-term break, and we’ve certainly hit the ground running! As mathematicians, we have begun exploring area and investigating how the shape of an object affects its size. We’ve also experimented with creating different shapes that share the same area.

Its been another busy and productive week with lots of fabulous work completed! As writers, we wrote our adventure stories inspired by Beowulf. We focused on our descriptive writing and sentence structure and the results were spectacularly imaginative! As artists, we explored texture and pattern creating

It’s been another busy week in year 3/4! As writers, we stepped into the shoes of Beowulf and wrote persuasive arguments to convince the Greats that he should be made king. We also began designing our own fearsome monsters to feature in stories inspired by Beowulf. As scientists,

This week we had a fantastic trip to Weston Museum! The children took part in a hands-on workshop where they learned how to play Anglo-Saxon board games and even wrote their names using Elder Futhark runes. We explored fascinating artifacts and discovered more about life during Anglo-Saxon and Viking times.

We’ve had another fantastic week! In science, we explored the fascinating world of insect life cycles, learning about the differences between complete and incomplete metamorphosis. Our very own caterpillars have been a highlight — we’re excited to watch them transform into chrysalises and eventually into beautiful butterflies! In English, we

This week, the children have continued to work hard and show great enthusiasm across all subjects. In history, they explored how historians learn about the past by discussing fascinating artifacts discovered at Sutton Hoo. Science lessons focused on insects, with children learning the difference between social insects like
