We hope you all enjoyed our Nativity!

What a fantastic Magic Show the children put on for their parents and carers today! With gasps of surprise, many magic tricks and cheers all round- the children, regardless of feeling nervous, put on a brilliant show. Well done Year 4!

We thoroughly enjoyed maths week.  Dave Godfrey was fantastic, we loved his new maths songs and cannot wait for the book to be out!

Learning about narrative stories and reading The Snow Spider inspired Year 4 to create their own drama.

Children acted out a scene from an everyday setting such as a school, a playground and an arcade.  They then wrote about this scene as a setting for their story. 

Today we have been to visit Holy Trinity Church in Stalybridge. The children were learning about the real meaning of Christmas. The children got to meet lots of different characters from the Christmas story and they told the children all about how baby Jesus was born.They met Mary, Joseph, a Wise Man, a Shepherd, a Roman Solider and lots more. The children had an amazing time and we would like to thank the church for making it a very special experience.

There were lots of different characters from the story, who told the children about the Christmas story. They met Mary, Joseph, a shepherd, a Roman Solider, a Wise Man and lots more. It was an amazing experience and I would like to thank everybody from the church for all their hard work. The children loved it.

Maths Creative Week was enjoyed by everyone!  Year 5 began the week by creating their own rhyme, based on cubed numbers!  They also did an investigation to help them understand the meaning of cubed numbers and used lots of multi links to make their own cubes!   Other classroom activities, such as making a pig pen with the largest possible area, really challenged Year 5's reasoning skills and helped their understanding of area and perimeter.

Science Club members have been busy lately investigating scientific theories whilst making Gloop and Lava Lamps.  Firstly, we found out that Gloop is a non-Newtonian fluid.  It is a solution that behaves a little like a solid and a little like a liquid and seems to defy the laws of gravity.  You just need to mix Cornflour and water to make this substance and, although it is messy, it's a lot of fun!  The children were amazed by the actions they saw in their Lava lamps which, they learnt, were caused by hydrophobia!  .

Year 4 had a brilliant maths week! On Thursday, The Happy Puzzle Company came into school and the children had to use logic and reasoning to solve problems.

What a fabulous maths week in Year 4 we had! We investigated whether the children were Leonardo di Vinci's Vitruvian Man, cracked codes and tried to solve Fibonacci's sequence.
