Welcome to Sapphire Class! 

Year 3/4

11th October 24

Well done to everyone for an amazing Harvest Service this morning! The songs and poems were lovely to hear. We've had another good week in Sapphire class topping it off this afternoon with learning about famous people from Victorian times.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

2nd October 24

We all really enjoyed our trip to St Fagan's National Museum of History this week. We got to experience what a day in a real Victorian school would have been like including taking part in reading, writing and arithmetic lessons and looking at some of the ways the children could be punished! We then finished off the day looking around at some of the other shops and houses they have at the museum.

25th September 24

We had a great (if slightly soggy!) couple of weeks at Forest School, we made dens for the animals that live around there and enjoyed splashing around in puddles this Monday!

We've had an amazing start to the term, everyone has been working so hard and we are looking forward to our school trip next Tuesday.

Well done for a great first week back everyone! We've worked really hard to get settled in and we are looking forward to Forest School on Monday.

21st June 2024

We had an amazing trip to the Mosque on Monday, the children were fascinated and engaged for the whole morning. We practiced washing our faces, hands and feet and even got to try on some traditional clothing.

A massive well done as well to everyone who took part in and supported the children at district sports events this week - you all did amazingly!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

A massive well done to all of the Year 4s these last couple of weeks, you did so well in the Multiplication Tables Check and I'm so proud of all of you!

We had a lot of fun making string telephones for our Science lessons yesterday and practicing with them today, learning about vibrations and how we can hear different sounds.

24th May 2024

What an incredible week we've had!

Monday saw us burning our Viking long ships on the fire at Forest School, followed by a Viking feast of marshmallows and biscuits. We then went back to school to build rockets for the Science Fair.

Tuesday we had our final swimming session for this year - everyone worked so hard and has made so much progress!

Wednesday we had great fun in the morning constructing Anglo Saxon pots out of clay and practicing our coiling techniques.

Thursday morning was the best one yet - we went up to KLB for the Science Fair where we got to investigate a murder mystery, build our own spectroscopes, build paper rockets and even look at a real life animal heart! We then got to test our rockets against those from other schools. We followed this in the afternoon with some more art - finishing off our pots by sealing them with a varnish to make them nice and shiny.

Well done everyone - you've been amazing this term. I hope you all have a lovely half term break (full of times tables of course!)

10th May 2024

We've definitely been enjoying the sunshine this week! We had a great PE session on the field this morning practicing some athletics skills with Birch class.

Yesterday we also investigated how shadows are made then created our own puppets for a shadow theatre! (Photos below)

Have a lovely weekend everyone and we are looking forward to forest school on Monday.

3rd May 2024

Well done to everyone this week, we've done some great learning! Year 3 have been conquering time this week and Year 4 have been amazing at working through fractions.

A big congratulations to you all for showing respectful behaviour around the school, it's been noticed!

We've also had some great swimming sessions already this term with lots of bravery to go in the deep end. 

I hope you all have a lovely, restful long weekend.

8th March 2024

We've had a very exciting week this week, starting of with a very squelchy visit to Forest School on Monday! We all worked hard to match photos of animals an plants to their names, then made some very impressive dens.

On Wednesday Mrs Peacock kindly came in and celebrated International Women's Day with us by showing us the exciting world of Human Bioscience before we made our own arms using different materials.

Yesterday we all had fun celebrating World Book Day and it was amazing to see so many children bringing in and sharing their favourite books from home.

Well done for all your hard work this week and I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
 

23rd February 2024

We've had a great first week back after half term this week, full of exciting things! We all really enjoyed our Cricket lessons on Monday and are looking forward to our second lesson next week.

We also had an amazing forest school session, we worked together to create a web linking living things to the oak tree onsite and discussed what would happen if the tree was cut down. We then got nice and muddy building our own shield and stratovolcanoes before making one of them explode!

9th February 2024

Well done for a great last week everyone! I'm so proud of all your hard work in our Maths assessments this week - good job! Also a big thank you to everyone who contributed to our poetry competition, the finals this morning were lovely to watch.

I hope you all have a restful half term, see you all for Term 4!

2nd February 2024

Well done everyone for another great week! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our poetry competition this year, it was lovely to hear some of our creative efforts this morning.

We've all worked hard this week on our exchanging in our subtraction lessons and everyone has put great effort into including relative clauses into their writing.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

19th January 2024

We've had a really good week in Beech class this week, well done to everyone who took part in the dodgeball tournament, and everyone who didn't for being so supportive!

We had some challenging Maths lesson this week that everyone persevered with and we had some high praise from our violin teacher today so a big well done to everyone.

16th November 2023

Well done to everyone practicing our Christmas carols this week, we're all looking forward to performing at the carol service in a few weeks time!

We also had a great time at forest school this week building dens and making our own charcoal to do some cave drawings.

19th October

This week we've been working hard to write our non-chronological reports all about the Iron Age - researching facts and learning new information! 

In Science we have learned how rocks become soil over hundreds of years and we will be going on a soil hunt to investigate what types of plant and animal matter we can find.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!
