Fantastic discussions happened in class today whilst the children were classifying vertberates. They really debated what a turtle, platypus and a bat were as they all have features that were confusing. However, they managed to agree on the 7 life processes all living things do and really enjoyed using venn diagrams to further separate vertebrates into their different groups.

Year 4 have been working hard to perfect their fielding and batting skills so they can improve their cricket skills. They have had to use both hands to send and receive the ball and have aimed their batting shots so that their partner could practise catching. Some great work Year 4!

Year 4 found out about the Ancient Egyptians hieroglyphics and number system today. They were intrigued to find out about Ancient Egyptian tombs, mummification and how important the River Nile was. Look how fantastic their work was.
Our Year 4 and 5 girls football team had their very first matches in a friendly tournament against St Mary's Catholic Primary School. There was some great goal keeping, defending and passing skills. The rain didn't stop the girls and they had a great time! Well done girls!

What a lovely day for a whole school picnic and games! We enjoyed picnic food and played some party games, including: tug of war, sack race, hula hoop contest, penalty shootout, welly throw competition, egg and sppon race and a skipping competition. Even the weather stayed dry, bright and sunny. The children loved being out together as a whole school. A big thank you to all the parents for their kind donations towards party food.
