Outdoor Learning

This week, the children enjoyed spending time in our outdoor learning area, keeping cool in our shaded spaces while working together to build imaginative forts and create pretend weapons.

Bea joins Willow Class

On Friday, the class were joined by Bea for the afternoon. She sat in with the class while the children worked on their fluency. Then she was taken for a walk on the school field before joining us for a game of rounders in PE. 

Making Music

This half-term, Willow Class are learning how to make music in their computing lessons. They have been using the tool busy beats on the chrome books to create a range of impressive beats!

Persuasive Letters

In English, Willow Class have been learning how to write persuasive letters based off the book ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’. Inspired by the book, the children came up with some very creative ideas for their final piece of writing: we had a cricket bat who was fed up of having balls thrown at him, a carpet that didn’t enjoy being spilt on all the time and a lightsaber who was exhausted from being used too much!

Winners!

A big well done to the Year 4 girls football team who took part in their first football match this week. They came out 4-2 winners in their away game vs Bradley Barton. Onto the next round of the cup! 

Batting Practise

In PE on Friday, we focused on our batting technique in a range of drills. We then finished the session with a game of rounders.

Times Tables Tournament

The children have been working hard on their times tables this week. On Friday, they put all their practise to use in a times tables tournament where each child was randomly matched up against a fellow classmate. In the end, there could only be one winner! 

China 🇨🇳

On Tuesday, the children in Willow class took part in a Chinese-themed afternoon. We learnt all about Chinese traditions and history and talked about some of the major tourist attractions including The Great Wall. 

Bonnet Parade

On the final day of term, the children enjoyed taking part in the Easter Bonnet Parade and a mini Easter Egg hunt hosted by Year 5. 

Art Fun

The children had a fun filled art day on Friday using charcoal and chalk to capture tone. The children reviewed the art of Dennis Creffield before designing their own city scape.
