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…

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…

Our new topic is Volcanoes. Here's some of the activities we've been doing this week.

During the final two weeks of this half-term we're listening to The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and linking our work to this brilliant story. Have a look at our photos to see some of things we've been doing.

We had such a fantastic time on World Book Day we decided we wanted the fun to continue so set classes reading challenges with a difference, such as:

• read whilst wearing something silly
• read in an unusual place
• read to your pet or teddy bear
• read aloud in a funny voice
• read a recipe…

Wow! We are so amazed with how fantastically the children in Years 3 & 4 have risen to home learning! 

We set 'Robots' as a theme for the first three weeks and sent home ideas of things the children could do, all linked to a short film in English called 'Girl and Robot'. Lots of children have…
