New Expedition text

Today we started our new text, which is about a variety of animals who love music and decide they want to be the best orchestra in the world.

After reading the book, the children sorted instruments into string, wind and percussion. They then created their own story maps using time connectives to retell the story. I was so impressed with the outcome and their fantastic learning about music this week!

Well done class 9…so proud as always!

Crew Knowles: immersion

Today we were introduced to our second case study – biology! We are looking forward to building on our KS1 knowledge of plants and animals and learn some of the more in depth characteristics of plants. Today, we created some lovely pictures to help decorate our classroom!

Class 14 Hook Week

We have had a great week so far immersing in our new expedition. The children have been challenged to see if they can work out our guiding question based on our learning. i wonder if you can work it out looking at our pictures.

class 9 great start to spring term

The children got the paintbrushes out today and were painting fruit and vegetable baskets for our fruit and veg shop display.

They look fantastic and will help us with our immersion for our new expedition, which is called ‘Ready, steady, grow- How can I be the healthiest version of me?’

So great to see everyone today!

Well done crew Shaw! X

Crew Knowles: welcome back!

We’ve had a lovely first day back in Year 4 today! We spent the first part of the morning prepping for our upcoming SLCs and the second part, getting hooked into our science learning!

Our first case study is physics and focuses on electricity. We completed an electricity hunt around school and tried to decide whether the electrical devices were producing heat, movement, sound or light! We then sorted lots of electrical equipment based on whether it was mains or battery powered. A great start to our learning!
