Last half term, we used the app Pixlr to explore how images can be edited. We used our knowledge to create advertisements for weird and wonderful places and films. Check out some of our adverts. We hope you like them!
In computing this year, we explored different podcasts and even made our own! Y4E had learned loads of interesting facts about the Anglo-Saxons in history so they decided to write and record podcasts based around this theme. We hope you enjoy them!
This month we were very excited to be able to celebrate our Reader’s of the month on World Book Day! The children have been chosen because of their fantastic achievements in Reading at school and at home.
Well done everyone, we are so proud of you!

We’ve started learning all about how sounds are produced and how they travel. We loved making our own string telephones and testing them out. Some of us even tapped into other people’s conversations!
This half term, Year 4 have been learning all about the Vikings. We explored different sources to find out if Vikings were really as awful as some people perceive them. We loved our visit from Tanya, who told us all about the lives of people living during the Viking period. We also did a lot of work comparing Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.
Meet our ‘Readers of the Month’ for January. The children have been chosen for their amazing efforts with reading in school. Reading is such an important part of our curriculum and we know the children love reading, sharing books and celebrating their achievements. We are so proud of you all!

Congratulations, we hope you enjoy reading your new books at home.
Lots of our children have requested more higher level non-fiction texts in our Accelerated Reader library.
We have a wide range of new books on so many topics including space, sport and history.
Why not have a browse next time you are in the AR library?
Happy reading!
Books for Topics have been on a mission to dig out the best books to look forward to!

We had children in years 3, 4 and 5 take part in our Christmas bauble challenge. Check out some of the brilliant designs!
The children in Year 4 used their knowledge of electrical circuits to design, make and evaluate their own board games. As I’m sure you all agree, the games all look very fun! The children had a great time testing them out.
