KS2 Spelling Bee!

This week some children from Key Stage 2 attended a Spelling Bee competition at Bill Quay Primary School.

Unfortunately we didn't win, but we worked hard together as a team to complete the challenges we were set and managed to come second! Well done to Bill Quay who won the Spelling Bee, and to Wardly and Lingey House who came 3rd and 4th.

We had a fantastic afternoon and would like to thank Bill Quay Primary School for inviting us and being so welcoming (and for the delicious Bee cakes)!

Beginning a new topic... The Venerable Bede

During the Easter break year 3 were tasked with researching their new topic, that of the Venerable Bede.

Who was Bede? Why is he important? What can we learn from his life? These questions and more were the challenges face by our class and each child worked extremely hard to gather as much information to answer these puzzling historical questions. 

Here we shared our learning with each other to further broaden our knowledge.

Creatures of Myth and Legend.

During our Myths and Legends topic we have been working on using descriptive language to create our own terrifying monsters. We used lots of examples such as 'The Minotaur' & 'Cyclops' to name a few. Here, Joe described his monster to Mr Noble who tried to draw it on the board.

What do you think?

Short Division

This week Year 4 started a new method for division. We worked in teams to solve a range of division calculations using our knowledge of our new method.  

It's Time For Art!

Year 4 started our new art topic on paper weaving. We looked at different designs and how we can change the size of our strips of paper to create different patterns. 

Numeracy Quiz

As part of our homework, we had to prepare a numeracy quiz to share with the class. We had lots of fun completing the quizzes in class together and identifying how we could improve them.

News Reseach

We have been exploring a range of news website aimed at children. We discovered lots of interesting articles about animals, events from around the world and events happening in our country.

St George's Day 2015!

We have had a fantastic day in school today celebrating St George's Day! The beautiful weather meant we were able to have our garden party on the Key Stage 1 Yard! A fun day was had by all!

The World of Bede

We have prepared a range of facts about St. Bede. We completed individual presentations on the work and life of Bede. We also discussed where we found our information and how we can recognise reliable sources of information. 

Year 4-Easter Assembly

Year 4 have we working hard on preparing an Easter assembly for the whole school. We told the Easter story and researched interesting facts about how other countries celebrate Easter.
