Year 4 have started off our Egyptian topic with their own research. They have been amazed by the pyramids, gods, goddesses, mummification and hieroglyphic. Their work has been displayed on pyramids on the wall display. 

Year 3 looked at Ancient Greek art on vases.

They drew their own designs and painted them.

We have lots of fruit and vegetables growing in our garden area. Lettuce, carrots, broad beans, strawberries, rasberries and a range of herbs. We can't wait to taste them! Gardening club have been busy weeding the other garden areas around school and taking pictures of the lovely flowers. 

Year 4 worked really hard to perfect their cricket bowling skills. They practised in 2s and then moved onto small group games. They found it a challenge to not bend their arm at the elbow and to aim accurately but this was only their first lesson. Well done Year 4. 

Media cubs visited Year 3 today.

Media cubs is a Greater Manchester based pop up TV studio and newsroom. They've teamed up with The Happy Newspaper to give children the chance to have their own say on the news and learn new media skills.

Children discussed newspapers and interesting article, they worked cooperatively and shared ideas. They discussed roles such as presenters, directors, camera person and actors and took part in these roles within the classroom. A very enjoyable afternoon learning new information about Media. 

Future TV stars⭐️ 

Year 4 made me very proud today with their official multiplication test. They have put in so much effort practising for this test throughout the year. They were extremely nervous but performed outstandingly. The results will be out soon and shared on their end of school report. Well done Year 4.
