Last night Year 4 took part in the Key Stage 2 Lancaster Schools Big Sing at the Ashton Hall. The children looked amazing on the front row, and sang the 12 songs we had learnt brilliantly!

And we even performed the New Zealand Haka - watch that HERE.

A big thank you to all the parents…

Year 4 spent a lovely time this afternoon exploring the book fair that is in school this week. They are hoping they can spend their World Book Day tokens on some great books during the week.

The book fair is open after school and during Parents Evenings this week.

As part of our 'giving' in Lent, we are raising money for those around the world who are living in extreme poverty. If we all walk 1km and bring in £1 for doing so, we can make a contribution to CAFOD's fund-raising.

So we took advantage of the beautiful weather to walk up to Williamson Park…

In the afternoon, we looked at how…

In Year 4 this week we have been writing winter poems that focus on the use of similes to create images for the reader. I think you will agree they have done a wonderful job!

Year 4 had a wonderful session with our visiting Yoga instructor this afternoon. Very relaxing!

We had a great start to the new term! The Tanzii TV brothers - Vio and Rio - came to give us a day of fitness and fun!

Year 4 and 5 together in the hall had some challenging exercises to try and some fun moves. 

Our class also had the school champion of flossing! Well done Maxx!

Year 4 spent the afternoon exploring how different materials work as a soundproof lining for blocking loud music - maybe useful for when they are teenagers for their bedrooms!!

The same cereal boxes were used but then lined with a range of different materials. Loud music (on my phone!) was…

Today in science, Year 4 explored how pitch is created and how sound vibrations change in frequency. We then made different kinds of pitched instruments. A noisy but fun lesson!

Year 4 had an Anglo Saxon visitor today!

We had a great afternoon listening to stories, re-enacting the invasion of Angles and Saxons, building houses then establishing villages and towns, investigating artefacts, and finally training to be in King Alfred's army! (Evidence on video is HERE!) A…
