We turned into Roman Warriors this afternoon. We learnt all about the Roman Empire and how it spread and conquered many countries. We learnt about the Roman Army, how sophisticated and successful it was. After making sure we passed the physical exam, collecting our spears (hockey sticks) and…

The children listened to different songs and created an image of how the song made them feel and what it helped them to imagine. They did this using charcoal, pastel crayons and water colour paint. The results were fantastic - what a creative bunch! 

The final set of photos from our amazing trip to Harry Potter Studios.

In Year 4, we were experimenting with solids, liquids and gases. We discussed reversible and irreversible states and the product of mixing different solids, liquids and gases together. In teams, we created a bottle boat and mixed vinegar and bicarbonate of soda together to generate a gas,…

Year 4 visited Gorton Monastery for an interesting history session about Belle Vue. We couldn't believe that Belle Vue Zoo was just around the corner and even had a resident monkey, who wandered around the Zoo all day. There were many interesting historical items to investigate on the day and we…
