Here is a whole group photograph of children in Years 3 and 4 from all the Primary schools in our trust visiting the Wildlife park on Thursday! It was so lovely to be there with the crews from the other schools, there was a real buzz around the park! Lovely memories made too!
Today it was a pleasure to teach English to both my Crew and Crew Faulding. In groups, the children read through a model text of a setting description which was taken from our new Class text. They then identified the features that had been included and spoke about the purpose of each feature.
I was so impressed with all the children’s knowledge as well as their collaborative skills and how kind and helpful they were to each other! I can’t wait to see lots of great writing features in our extended write on Monday!
Here are some more pictures of Year 4 enjoying our day at YWP yesterday. We had such a great time seeing all the animals and learning lots of amazing facts about Polar Bears and how they survive in the wild.
A big well done to you all for your fab behaviour representing the school yesterday.
To kick off our Case Study 1- Geography this week, we’ve been learning about different locations and identifying them on a map. We started focussing on places close to home; Thorne, Doncaster, South Yorkshire and England. We then got even smarter learning which countries make up the UK and the capital cities.
Well done guys, I was really impressed by your prior knowledge and your skills when reading a map!
I’d like to award you all with 30 howl points for working hard collaboratively!

After reading the first two chapters outside, we retreated back in to our toasty warm classrooms for a yummy hot chocolate and to write some fantastic predictions about what we believe will happen in our text.
We’d like to make a shout out to all of the children for their excellent listening skills and for sitting so sensibly- you were all super stars! It was a really lovely experience!

WOW! What an awesome day we’ve had! I’m so pleased with how engaged and excited all the children have been throughout all the Music themed activities linking to our case study.
We began the day by designing CD’s linking to our learning around climate change to immerse our classroom.
We then researched Music through the ages. Each group focussed on music from a different decade and used the IPads to research and create a mood board!
Then the moment we’d all been waiting for… KARAOKE! We were all blown away by how brave and confident everyone were to get up and sing in front of everyone! What an absolutely brilliant afternoon!
Focussing on our guiding question, we’ve designed and created our own CD’s to immerse our classroom’s further. You all had great ideas on which designs would get the important message across! You superstars! Mrs Faulding x
It’s been so much fun investigating music through the decades today. We’ve worked collaboratively to create mood boards about a specific song from each year. It was fab to see you all appreciating different musical styles and notice how its developed over the years! Well done guys! Mrs Faulding x
The below will hopefully answer any questions which parents/carers may have about the visit which were not outlined on the letter that was recently sent out.
Thank you,
Mr Oldridge
We’ve had a fab day hooking in to our music case study today. It’s been amazing! Huge well done to everyone on making such an effort with their pop star/rockstar costumes.
We loved singing this afternoon in our karaoke session too. We’ve certainly got some potential superstars in the future! Miss Myer’s will blog some photos from this later. Really proud of you all for getting up and joining in. Thank you all for a wonderful day!
