Welcome to Class 4!

In Class 4 there are 14 Year 5 children and 12 Year 6 children.

Our class teacher is Miss
   Houseman and our ATA is Mrs Wright who works with us on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

In Science we have explored electricity and circuits. We had the opportunity to use a vandergraph generator, which made our hair stand on end.

We also made circuits to switch on a light bulb and to operate a buzzer.

In Literacy we wrote biographies on some famous people including Florence Nightingale and Issac Newton. We had a great time performing part of our biographies back to the rest of the class.

In History we spent time researching the lives of Spartan men, women and children.

We had a lot of fun designing large images of Spartan soldiers and women to display the information that we found out.

The whole of class 4 took part in an indoor athletics tournament at Norton College. We won two events the bean bag throw and the ladder race.

We had a lovely time playing in the snow. We built snowmen, igloos and snow forts.

In RE we created a hot seat carousel to explore the feelings that we have when we experience a new beginning.     

Sometimes we feel excited!

We also discovered that we feel nervous and anxious in a new situation.

In Literacy we have designed our own theme parks and are using these as a stimulus for our persuasive writing.

We have also explored the persuasive devices used in adverts and leaflets to encourage us to buy products.

In history we were set a challenge to find an artefact from the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s or 80’s.

We had lots of fun sharing the artefacts that we had found.

Some children from Class 4 represented the school at a high five netball tournament. Team B came third and Team A won and went through to the final at Whitby....and won!!
