Hello everyone! Year 4, I hope you have had an amazing time at Low Bank Ground (I hope the weather up in Coniston hasn't been too wet!). Year 3, you've been getting on really well this week with being in a slightly different class - Miss McCahey has been telling me all about your week and the things you've been getting up to. Next year, it wll be your turn to go to on the trip!
Ealier this week, we completed our art unit on skyscrapers and it has been wonderful seeing you all enjoy the topic so much. You paintings look excellent too! Below, I have attached some photos of us all drawing the Empire State Building.
Hope you all had a fantastic time at the Spooky Disco yesterday! Have a wonderful half-term and stay safe during the Halloween celebrations.
All the best,
Mr P

Thank you for a great week, everyone! It was so lovely getting to show you all baby Robert! He might not be able to talk yet but I know he had a lovely time seeing all of your faces.
This week, we have enjoyed a lovely Art topic on cityskylines, looking at the work of artist Paul Klee. Looking forward to doing some painting next week! We have also looked at the use of subordination in sentences, as well as partitioning mixed numbers as part of our fractions unit. We also finished our time with Ian from the Hummingbird Project. Don't worry - you will be able to take your lovely booklets home soon!
Have a lovely weekend everyone and I'll see you all on Monday morning!

Thank you for another lovely week, Willow! This week, we have started our unit on fractions in Maths and delved more deeply into the use of co-ordinating conjunctions in our Writing lessons.
We enjoyed more time with Ian from The Hummingbird Project this week - our focus was to work on our teamwork and resilience skills. To do this, we took part in some fun games outside.
We have also enjoyed Music this week. Our focus song was an orchestral 'hoedown'...we looked at findig the rhythm, time signature and 'pulse'. We also played along using the notes F and G. After that, we took the opportunity to showcase our newfound rhythm-finding skills to have a class mosh along to Mr Pattinson's favourite songs. Enjoy!

Thank you for another lovely week, Willow class! This week, we completed a star write based on the book 'Voices in the Park' and continued our learing about regular/irregular verbs and verb phrases in Writing. We also learned about the story of Rama and Sita as part of our topic on Hinduism. We were also treated to another PATHS lesson from the wonderful folks at the Hummingbird Project, an organisation who work with children all over the UK. In our most recent session, we looked at 'Being kind and thankful' - we designed thank you cards for someone special in our lives and had an absolute blast making them!
Have a lovely weekend everyone, see you on Monday.
Mr P
