It’s been another great week in year 3 and 4! As mathematicians we explored equivalent fractions using strips of paper to help us make visual comparisons. Once we had created and matched our fractions, we looked closely at the relationships between them and discussed the patterns we could see.

This week has been full of creativity, curiosity and hands-on learning across the curriculum. In English, the children worked hard as writers, completing a diary entry written in the role of Edward Tulane. They revisited key moments from the story and reflected on some of the dramas Edward experiences, using

This week has been both busy and exciting, filled with wonderful learning across all areas of the curriculum. As mathematicians, we have been exploring fractions—what they are, how they can be represented, and how they help us describe parts of a whole. The children have been working with visual models,

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break and enjoyed time with family and friends. It’s been fantastic to see everyone return ready for a great start to the new term! As writers, we have begun exploring our new book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. We’ve been thinking

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
