Forest Sessions!
We are so lucky to have a fabulous forest to use right here at our school! We love to play with our friends, climb, run, explore, discover and above all have so much fun!
Forest Fun - Anglo-Saxon Style!
We had a great time working in teams to build Anglo-Saxon walls and fences today! We all learnt to weave the fences to create enclosures for the pigs the Anglo-Saxons would have brought with them when they settled in Britain. Some of us even braved the mud and mixed mud with sand and dry grass/straw to create daub to add to the wattle fences as the Anglo-Saxons would have done when they built their houses.
Prayer Spaces
Today, we worked with the local churches in Ryton using Prayer Spaces to reflect and give thanks.
It was lovely to see some familiar faces with the volunteers coming into school to work with our children!
Dice Investigation
We were working super hard today to investigate the greatest and smallest value we could make with our numbered dice!
As always, team work was amazing!
Art Composition
We have worked together to share our ideas about a paintings and describe the difference between a tint and a shade before exploring how to mix tints and shades by adding black or white paint.
After that, we experimented with different arrangements of objects for our group still-life composition before sketching and then painting our finished piece. We tried hard to show how colour can be used to show light and dark to create 3 dimensions.
Ancient Egyptians: we discovered how pharaohs were mummified today. Huge thank you to our lovely helpers who volunteered to help out and get messy! We can all now explain the process and why it was used!
Ancient Egyptians: learning about how the pyramids were constructed. We explored our ideas with polydron and Lego before building with sugar cubes!

Winter's Child: exploring expanded noun phrases. We have loved this beautiful book; the illustrations inside have inspired our wonderful writing!
Exploring Prayer Spaces in Year 3 and 4: huge thank you to some very familiar faces who have come back to help us today!
Technology: designing and making our very own pavilion structures before we evaluated them. Our imaginations ran wild when we designed the features!
