We've had a football-filled day of fun! From creating team posters to creating a collaborative picture, from finding facts about players in the Euros to playing football all afternoon, we've had a great time. After all that, there was only one way to finish the day and that was with a loud class…

In PSHE we've been finding out about how our bodies start to change as we get older. Today we thought about how this might make us feel and talked about why teenagers are often described as being grumpy! We had great fun thinking of reasons why parents and teenagers might get upset with one…

Wow! What fantastic Egyptians Years 3 & 4 make! The children looked fantastic and we had a brilliant day exploring all sorts of Egyptian things, from mummifying tomatoes to finding out about hieroglyphics then writing our own cartouches to creating scarab beetles. We've also done more work on the…

On Earth Day we found out about how we could change our lifestyles to help repair the earth and make a difference to reduce climate change. We made model houses and on them wrote an action we could take to make a difference. We found out about renewable energy such as wind turbines, then made our…

We have been exploring instruction writing in English this week. Mrs Quayle started by giving us all instructions to make a 'Thing-a-me' which led to us making some very strange creations because the instructions were so badly written! Thankfully, we have since followed some well written…

We continue to be super impressed with the way all the children in Years 3 and 4 have accessed their learning through February, whether they were joining us through live classes at home or were physically in the classroom. We want to say a massive well done to all the children and a big thank you…

Wow! What a strange start to 2021, but we are so proud of how well the children have settled into their new way of learning. We've tried to stick as closely as possible to what we would have done with the children if they had been in school this term and it's great that we're able to deliver live…

What a busy term we have had! Although things look slightly different this year for a December in school, we have still been very busy making sure we are all prepared for a wonderful Christmas. We managed to finished out English unit about the Green Children and have written our own versions of…

What another fantastic month we’ve had in Years 3 and 4. Our new class reader is 'The Nothing To See Here Hotel' by Steven Butler which we're loving. Folk-tales has been our topic in English and we’ve been investigating different versions of the Suffolk folk-tale all about the Green Children. This…

This half term in Year 3/4 we have been busy little bees learning lots in our Autumn topic ‘Monsters, Dragons and Invaders’. As part of our English curriculum we have been exploring Narrative Poetry by various poets like Michael Rosen and have had a go at writing our own. We’re poets and we…

Welcome back! We’re thrilled that all the children are back in school and we’ve had a very busy, but positive start.

In Years 3&4 Mrs Greenbank teaches us on Mondays and Tuesday mornings, then Mrs Quayle teaches us on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. On Tuesday afternoon we learn French with…

One of the challenges set for home learning in Years 3 & 4 was to retell the stories of Noah's Ark or Daniel and the Lions in an interesting way.

We've once again been blown away by the creative and fantastic ways in which families have responded to this task and wanted to share with you some…
