A STEM visit from Drax

14th September 2025Chris Mumby

Year 4 had a fantastic time working with our visitors from Drax Power Station. The children were buzzing with excitement as they explored the science of forces in a hands-on and practical way.

One of the highlights of the session was constructing their very own cars. With teamwork, creativity, and plenty of determination, the children carefully built their designs before putting them to the test.

This was a brilliant opportunity for the children to link their classroom learning to the real world and to see how science and engineering are used in everyday life. We are so grateful to our visitors from Drax for making the session fun, interactive, and memorable.

Y3 and Y4 Welcome Meeting

1st September 2025Chris Mumby

We are delighted to invite all parents and carers of children in Year 3 and Year 4 to our Welcome Meeting on Wednesday 17th from 5.00pm – 6.00pm in the school hall (please use the hall door entrance). This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the Year 3/4 teaching team and to hear more about the exciting year of learning ahead. We will be sharing details about how we will continue to develop reading fluency, comprehension and a love of books, as well as explaining how we are preparing Year 4 children for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTCs) later in the year. Parents of Year 4 pupils will also hear about upcoming swimming lessons and how these fit into the wider PE curriculum. Most importantly, this will be a chance to learn about routines and expectations in Year 3 and Year 4, and to see how home and school can work together to make this a positive, successful and enjoyable year for every child. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the exciting journey ahead!

Thank you in advance,

Y3 and Y4 Team

A Masterful Mosaic!

28th August 2025Chris Mumby

I wanted to share some wonderful home learning from Charlotte in Year 4. Over the holidays, Charlotte carefully crafted a stunning picture of the Colosseum using small tiles to create a detailed mosaic.

Her creativity, patience and attention to detail are clear to see — it is a truly impressive piece of work! The mosaic has already sparked great interest and discussion in class, making it the perfect talking point to kick off our brand-new expedition on the Romans.

Well done, Charlotte — what a fantastic way to start our year!

Year 4 Collaborative Artwork

26th August 2025Chris Mumby

We are so proud of how well Year 4 have settled back into school following the holidays. The children have shown great enthusiasm, positivity, and a real eagerness to learn.

Today, classes took part in a very special project. Working together in small groups, they created a collaborative piece of artwork inspired by our school’s Character Traits.

The end result is something they should be incredibly proud of. Their artwork is not only colourful and creative, but also a wonderful reminder of the values that guide us each day in school.

It is safe to say that Year 4 are proud of their work — and rightly so! We are excited to see how these positive attitudes and strong teamwork skills will shine through in all of their learning this term.

Great work Year 4!
