We had a very competitive (and noisy!) time playing wheelchair basketball with John from Lancaster Bulldogs today. I think you can see how much we all (including Mrs Redmayne) enjoyed it.

The big day had finally arrived! After weeks of watching our caterpillars grow larger, build their cocoons and finally metamorphose into beautiful and amazing butterflies, it was time to set them free. To be honest, they weren’t in a great hurry to leave but by the end of the day all had flown…

Today we were joined by Mrs Muckalt to learn more about using effective sequences in gym. We used counter balances and counter tension balances as well as including jumps and different ways of travelling. We had great fun!

Today we started our new maths topic (Decimals, Fractions and Percentages) by making jewellery. We each cut up a whole straw (worth one) into ten equal pieces (worth a tenth) and made this into a tenths necklace. Then we took a tenth piece of straw and cut this up into ten equal pieces (worth a…

Today we came back after our Easter holidays and looked again at the events of the first Easter. We had to order images from the story. It was quite tricky and we had to look carefully at clues (such as a cockerel, dice and a kiss) to work out what was happening in each story. We then read the…

Today Year 4 was invaded by the Romans! We had Roman legionaries, centurions, governors and even Emperors! Not only that, but we were honoured to be visited by some Roman gods such as Poseidon.
 

We learnt more about the Celts and their rebellion under Boudicca. She was a very brave and…

Yesterday we made our own instruction sheets for a board game of our choice. 
Today we used the instructions to help us set up and play the games in groups. We evaluated each other and found something they had done really well and something they could improve next time.
