Year 4 made a great start to their first R.E unit this week by looking at the Story of Creation. There were some super contributions to our class discussion about the topic and the whole class engaged fully in the passage from the book of Genesis.

Here is the work of Molly, Jude, Lorcan, James, Harry, Lucas and Lucy who each made a poster representing one day of the creation story. The work will be displayed in the classroom and they will also present and explain it to the Year 1 class next week.

Well done!

Year 4 have had a great first week back at school this week. I have been very impressed by many members of the class so far and I am really looking forward to what the year has to hold.

Congratulations to Zuzanna and Pierce, our first Super Stars of the year. You have both had a great start and are setting a super example for everyone in the class.

As part of their D&T topic Year 4 made pizzas on Wednesday. Each pair brought in their toppings and everyone made the bases from scratch. The whole class worked fantastically well together and should be really proud of what they produc

ed. They tasted good too!

The school choir had fantastic trip to the Royal Albert Hall yesterday and as always, the children did the school proud. After a long rehearsal the choir sang their hearts out to a full Royal Albert Hall for over two hours. We were also treated to a performance from Kevin and Karen from Strictly Come Dancing (see video!).

Mrs Ellis, Ms Croarken and Mrs Elkins have done a wonderful job and everyone involved in the choir should be very proud with what they have achieved!

Thank you to Alex, Lewis and Freya for arranging and delivering a lovely prayer service this afternoon.

Year 4 continued their work on electricity this afternoon by creating a range of different complete circuits and by investigating which materials conducted electricity.
