PE will be on Monday with Mrs Ellison and Thursday with Mrs Ward. Please ensure that you have your labelled PE kit in school on these days.

Please make sure that your school uniform is also 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. 

Reading diaries must be in school every day.

Our visit to Magna Science Centre

To end our Science unit on 'Sound', we visited Magna Science Centre in Sheffield. Our day started with a workshop about sound - we explored different sounds and did lots of different experiments to investigate pitch and volume. We the had the opportunity to explore the rest of the centre, which focussed on the elements of water, fire, Earth and air. We did lots of hands-on activities and learnt some really interesting things!

Ancient Greece Day

On Wednesday 8th February, Class 4 celebrated their learning in History so far with an Ancient Greece day. The children (and Mrs Ellison!) came to school dressed as various Greek Gods, Goddesses and other Greek characters and looked amazing! Our first activity was wreath making. We measured our heads to make our bands, and created interesting designs with different leaves. We loved our homemade wreaths and some spent the rest of the day wearing theirs. We also studied the Greek alphabet and created our own name plaques. It was a challenge to find the right upper and lowercase letters! The finished products looked wonderful, and everyone enjoyed decorating the borders using Greek patterns. In the afternoon, an Ancient Greek banquet was prepared for the children, consisting of traditional Greek foods such as black and green olives, pitta bread, feta cheese and Greek yoghurt. The children were encouraged to try different foods and really enjoyed sampling these traditional Greek foods. To complete our day, we had a go at some traditional Greek dancing! We all had a fantastic day! 

On our first day, Class 4 experienced so Roman Army style training. We learned about the weight of their armour and the distance that they were made to march. We also had a go at marching in formation in order to protect all of the soldiers and allow them to fight the enemy efficiently.
