Our PE lessons this half term re giving us the opportunity to improve our balance. We have been working on our own balancing skills and in pairs.

Year 4 had a visitor from Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. We learnt a lot of information about rivers and why it’s important to consider what we are pouring down the drain.
Our new pool tables were a huge hit with the children. We have some very skilled players already. It was lovely to see children from across Key Stage 2 challenging one another.
We looked at a variety of extracts and the children needed to decide whether they were from a diary or a different genre or writing. We were very impressed with their investigation skills and created a list of features to look for and use within a diary entry.
What more could we want than a glorious Friday afternoon outside for Skills Academy. We are all so incredibly lucky to have a school with such wonderful grounds and talented, enthusiastic teachers who offer us a variety of clubs (Year four).
With the hope of warmer weather this term, many of our Skills Academy Clubs are taking place outside. This week the Walking Club visited a local field whilst the Creative Club enjoyed drawing on the playground with chalk.
To celebrate all the hard work the children have done this term, we enjoyed taking part in an Easter egg hunt on the field. The children had to solve maths questions in order to crack a code. We were very impressed with how they applied what they have learnt this term to enable them to solve the questions. Well done
We were astounded by the effort and thought that had gone into the STEM fair. The children had. Great time looking at all the maths and science entries. Thank you to all those who took part. The children were very proud to show off their achievements.
Our new Skills Academy Club ‘Walking and Talking’ has proved very popular with the children. This week, we also incorporated a little tree climbing. It has been such a treat to spend time with this group in the open air and enjoy some very diverse conversation with them.
After a busy week of assessments, we took the children outside for an active maths lesson. Children collected as many items as they could from the middle of the playground and sorted them into colours. Each total was then multiplied by a given amount. Teamwork was key! We had a lot of fun whilst practising our multiplication facts.
