  • Autumn 2 - Week 6 Learning & Achievements

    Published 13/12/24, by Jess Edgeley

    We consolidated our knowledge of Ancient Greece by taking part in an Ancient Greek Day! We created our own tribute pendants to the Gods, found out the different roles in Greek life and who we would recruit to our army, handled Greek artefacts and chose which equipment we would wear as a soldier. We were able to build a shield war, use Greek weapons and wear Greek armour!

    We also took part in the Rudolph Run to raise money for Tapping House - an amazing £125 raised from our class. So proud of all those who took part and thank you for your sponsors!

  • Autumn 2 - Week 4 Learning & Achievements

    Published 29/11/24, by Jess Edgeley

    Geography: We continued our learning of Mediterranean Europe by focusing on the climate. We learnt that during summer, temperatures are higher, and it is hot and dry and, in winter, temperatures are lower, so it is cold and wet. 

    English: We became TV/radio interviewers and took on the roles of chief editor or a wizard, witch and warrior and used the 5W's to describe a feather being found.

    D. T: We used our skills of cutting, rubbing and chopping to bake our apple crumbles! We enjoyed tasting them!

    We were very lucky to be visited by the author, David Barker, who spoke to us about his career, the London Falling Series and tips on becoming a writer. We even had a chance to ask him lots of questions and become inspired by writing. We were also very lucky to have both books signed for the class.

    What a fantastic first week back we have had in Year 4 - lots of learning and great work produced!

    Maths: We continued our topic of addition and subtraction - we focused on the addition of adding four digit numbers with and without exchanges.

    History: We carried on our learning of Ancient Greece. We learnt that philosophy means a love for wisdom and that Ancient Greeks asked questions about the world in a non-religious way. We learnt about the three main Greek philosophers (Plato, Socrates and Aristotle) and their key beliefs.

    Alongside this, we started Spanish and focused on phonic sounds, in particular the alphabet.
