A massive well done to all the Year 4 pupils who performed brilliantly this afternoon in the end-of-term Brass Concert, showcasing their hard work and talent in front of a packed hall of family and friends! 

Pupils have been enjoying weekly lessons with Mr. Garrod as part of the Hampshire Listen2Me Music Scheme, and their progress has been amazing to see. 

Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who attended the concert—your support makes such a difference and helps create a truly special atmosphere for the children.

We are so proud of all our young musicians and can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve next term as they move on to keyboards!

It has been a very egg-citing week in Year 4! Our new science topic focuses on teeth and we have set up an experiment to look at the effect of different drinks on the health of our teeth. To do this we have submerged six eggs in six different drinks and are eagerly observing the effects. The children were excellent at making sure the test was fair by only changing one variable, the drinks, and making sure all the other elements were the same. Today we are going to be looking at what has happened to the eggs and thinking about how our teeth could be affected if we don’t clean them properly.

We also began our D.T. sewing unit and have been practising different stitches- running stitch, backstitch and over stitch and have designed our purses. Next week we will move into constructing our purses, making sure they follow the design brief and are neatly made. The teachers are predicting how many needles they will be rethreading during this process!!

Finally we were all extremely proud of Jackalberry  class who performed their ukulele concert to parents. They did and amazing job and Mrs Hughes was really proud of their hard work. Next Wednesday it is the turn of Redwood and Ash classes who will perform their brass concert. The children have been practising hard all week and are looking forward to demonstrating their skills.

Have a wonderful weekend!

It's hard to believe that we're almost at the end of the Autumn Term now - it feels like only a few minutes since we came back after the half term break!

The last two weeks have been as busy as ever.  We've finished reading The Explorer, and written a variety of persuasive texts around the situations in the story.  In science, we've continued to learn about evolution, and we've started our DT learning about structures and shelters. 

Our main focus, however, has been the upcoming Rainforest Cafe.  Last week, we did some tasting of different rainforest flavours, and we are preparing to cook our muffins and blend our smoothies for the cafe itself next week.  We're looking forward to welcoming lots of guests on Tuesday afternoon to see, hear and taste some of the learning we have done.
