The Year 4 children went to the Spring Explorer workshop at Deer Park today.

They learned about food groups, ate insects, did some pond dipping and worked with Sensory boxes.

The bug eating was one of the favourites, with some of them commenting that it was like an “I’m a Celebrity” trial!

Miss Oliver’s class have been working outside to see what happens to sound over long distances. They used home-made ‘telephones’ to explore this as this links to our current science topic – sound.

Mrs Harvey has been busy running circuit training with year 3/4 in the hall this week.

The children really enjoy it as you can see.

Please meet our very excited Year 3/4 Tag Rugby team who played in a tournament earlier this week.

Music Heroes are in school on Tuesdays delivering ukelele lessons to Year 3 and 4.

Last week they played the chords for ‘Demons’ by Imagine Dragons and ‘Shake it off!’ By Taylor Swift.  They then progressed onto something more tricky, playing the reggae rhythm, and riff for ‘3 little birds’ by Bob Marley.

All the children are really enjoying their lessons.

Here are some photographs from Base 6 – just look at the concentration on their faces!

Base 5 made their own ‘Soundscape’ using parts of their bodies to create the sounds of a storm.

They really wanted to share it with everyone.

Well done Base 5!

Miss Hill’s class also enjoyed the Stone Age day – we have added some photographs below.

Last week the Year 3s all went to Deer Park for a Nature Day.

Year 3 and 4 topic this term is The Stone Age.

On Monday we had a Stone Age Day and children had a visit from a caveman, a cavewoman and some of their wares!

It was a great way to bring the topic alive.
