Blackout in Budmouth!

This week in Class 4, the children have created and performed some fantastic Blackout Poetry using a passage from the Class text- Letters from the Lighthouse.

   

Table Tennis Time

Over break and lunch times, children in class 4 have been thoroughly enjoying our new equipment.

“I really enjoy playing with them with my friends at break time- it’s so much fun.” Sheena

Science ‘ROCK’ stars!

By

As our topic on Rocks is coming to an end here are the photos of our investigations into erosion and permeability. We discovered that some rocks are softer than others and so therefore erode faster. Also, that some rocks are more porous and so wouldn’t be suitable for certain purposes as water would pass through it.

   

First Week of Advent

By

Children in class 4 lit the first candle on their advent wreath today during our class liturgy, reflecting and thinking about hope in the season of Advent.
 

Hooray for my Homework Heroes!

By

This half term’s Homework Menu has proven to be very successful and have allowed my wonderful class to explore our Science, Geography and Art topics in a variety of creative ways.

Below is a small selection of what the children have already produced.

My Homework Heroes have:

Produced an information text about Mary Anning,

Made models of their favourite North Eastern landmark,

Been on a fossil hunt and even made some at home,

Made art using rocks and sea glass,

an recreated the County Flags of our region,

Well Done Class 3!

 

 

The Lambton Worm

By

In our English lesson for the last 2 weeks we have been looking at The Lambton Worm – this way we could cover the Myths and Legends theme in English but also link it in with our Geography topic which is all about the North East.

More photos will follow but for now here are some of the Newspaper Reports about the Worm’s terrible ending!

The children also made a model of the worm using clay. They used the descriptions of the worm found in the famous song and in the text to help them with their models.
