Welcome to Class 4!

Welcome to Class 4! We hope that you all had an enjoyable half term; we are really looking forward to this half term and the run up to Christmas! 

During this half term, our topic is 'Cathedrals'. Please find further information on our topic web below.

PE will be on Mondays with Mrs Ellison and Swimming on Fridays with Mrs Ward. Please ensure that you have your labelled PE kit and swimming kit in school on these days. It would be useful to have clothing suitable for PE outdoors, i.e. joggers and jumpers as we head into winter. Please also make sure that your school uniform is fully labelled. 

Each Wednesday, Class 4 will be able to use the MUGA at playtimes. Children will need to bring a separate pair of trainers to school to change into if they wish to use the MUGA. Children also need a separate pair of trainers if they wish to use the field.

Reading diaries must be in school every day.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Mrs Ellison and Mrs Ward 

Class 4 had a wonderful visit to Bassetlaw Museum for a Romans Day. We started the day with an archaeological dig to find some Roman artefacts, looked at (and dressed up in) Roman military wear, made traditional Roman pots using clay, and finished our day with a Roman wedding! What a brilliant day!

Roman Helmets

This half term, Class 4 have been learning about The Romans. In Art, we studied Roman gladiators and designed and made our own Roman helmets. We used images of helmets to help inform our own designs. To create the shape and structure of our helmet, we used paper mâché. We then selected paints and various other materials for our final decorations, thinking carefully about how our final product would fit the design brief. We think they look brilliant!

Severn Trent Water Visit

KS2 had a visit from Severn Trent Water. In our assembly, we learnt all about the work Severn Trent Water do - how they take all our sewage and make it drinkable again! We saw the cycle this takes and also learnt about the things we should and shouldn't put down the sink or toilet. Class 4 then had a workshop relating to their Science work on the water cycle. We learnt about water shortages and also investigated how much water a family uses and wastes every day.
