We have had an incredibly exciting half term across Year 3 and Year 4, filled with memorable learning experiences. In Year 3, children thoroughly enjoyed diving into a new guided reading text, The Boy Who Grew Dragons, and were completely fascinated by the imaginative plot and the setting description! Our history topic, How Have Children’s Lives Changed was brought to life through a fantastic trip to Milestones Museum. The children dressed as factory workers and experienced a lesson in a Victorian classroom. In RE, the children learned about the Islamic religion, supported by a valuable visit from a guest speaker (Mrs Rasheed) who shared her experiences and answered thoughtful questions.

Year 4 began the half term with a BANG! The Iron Man story was their first English focus this half term. They produced some truly impressive stories that included sound, texture and appearance and more recently they visited Aladdin’s cave for imaginative setting description. In RE, pupils took part in an immersive talk about Sikhism, asking inquisitive and respectful questions that showed real engagement with their learning. It has been a joy to visit lessons across both year groups and hear the children speak enthusiastically about what they have been learning. A huge thank you to our wonderful parent helpers for generously giving their time to support maths and reading interventions across Years 3 and 4, trips and projects!
