Year 4 Hawthorn loved having their Parents, Grandparents and Godparents join our English lessons today! We were given some boring sentences to edit and improve. We added fronted adverbials, adverbs, adjectives, similes and interesting verbs. The sentences created were very impressive. We finished the morning with a shared lunch.
In R.E, we have been studying how different people see God. We learnt that Muslims can see their God through nature and all its wonder. We went on a nature walk and created worship plates to show respect to nature. Here are some pictures of our lesson.

Today we discussed Shahada and looked at how it is displayed on things such as wall hangings, plates and pendants in Arabic calligraphy. We reflected on words that are important in the Muslim faith and words that are important in the Christian Faith. We then designed and created our Read more
This week we have been reading the story ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson. On Monday we came into the classroom to find a letter from the witch in the story; she asked for help from snowdrops to make a lovely smelling potion! Throughout the week we learned about our 5 senses and made lots of potions to see which ingredients would use our senses. We also made wands to do spells. On Wednesday Read more
Maple have been down to the River Roch in Queens Park this morning.

They were quick to spot signs of pollution and notice wildlife that had made its home around the river bank. We also carried out an investigation to find out the speed at which the water in the river was Read more
This afternoon, Year 5 worked hard to complete a coding challenge. We discussed what an algorithm is and created our own on 2code. We used our coding skills to design a under the sea scene and create moving parts.
A fantastic day out today with Maple at the M6 Theatre Company. As part of our Linking Schools Project, the children met with a Year 4 class from another primary school.

Have a look at our photos and see for yourself some of the wonderful freeze frames Read more

In our topic we are looking at seasons and how things change over each season. We used different colours to represent what a tree might look like during each season. We used red/pink for the blossom on a tree in Spring. We used green for a Summer tree. We used orange, red and browns on the tree for Autumn – some were even at the foot of the tree because we know that some trees Read more
