Year 4 would like to say a huge thank you to the PTFA for funding a set of class books, just in time for our next topic! Mrs Blomeley
We are so proud of Tilly in Year 4! Last weekend she had 10 inches cut off her hair and has donated it to the Little Princess Trust! They provide free real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair through cancer treatment and other conditions. What a wonderful, caring citizen Tilly is - always willing to help others. Thank you. Mrs Blomeley

Year 4 had fun testing the question - Are spaces really empty? Using a cup and paper towel. and immersing it in water, they proved that the space was filled with air which prevented the paper towel from getting wet! They also proved that spaces in the sponges were filled with air, as these produced bubbles in the water when they released their grip on the sponge! Super Scientists! Mrs Blomeley

Last week, the whole school took part in the Challenge Me Hula Hooping event. EYFS had to hula hoop for 2 minutes, KS1 for 4 minutes and KS2 for 6 minutes without stopping! This was to try to improve our stamina. We had lots of fun and all got stickers for taking part.

Year 4 are enjoying our current topic - It's a Mystery! Our journey began when we used torches in our darkened classroom to recreate the conditions of a dark cellar and the discovery of a set of long forgotten images that had been left with a publisher; all with a title and a suggestive caption.

We were delighted to be asked to work with sculptor Michael Condron again! Michael last worked with some of our pupils back in 2016 when he was commissioned to create a sculpture for the new Ashton Interchange, which is now nearing completion. On Friday, pupils from Key Stage 2 created some designs based on 'Journeys' to be included in the final artwork. Twelve children drew their designs before scratching them onto plaster disks. Michael will fire glass onto the plaster disks in his kiln so their designs will be moulded into the coloured glass circles that will form part of the publi

Year 4's Christmas Party began with dancing, playing statues, corners and pass the parcel! Then it was time for party food, gratefully received from parents, Christmas music and joke telling! It was a lovely atmosphere in Year 4 and a wonderful time was had by all! Merry Christmas! Mrs Blomeley

As part of their topic - Christmas around the World - Year 4 wanted to help children who are not so fortunate as they are. They used their maths skills to see just what they could buy to help them from the UNICEF site "Inspired Gifts". All of the class, helped by Mrs Gething, enjoyed making delicious Peppermint Creams to sell to children at school.
