Ashridge Trip – May 2024
Year 4 visited Ashridge in May to explore all things outdoors! We spent time plotting points on a map using our Maths co-ordinates knowledge before heading out to find the puzzle pieces. These puzzles needed to be solved to gain the keys which locked our lunches away! After lunch, we enjoyed time finding minibeasts within […]
Science – Spring Data Collection
This half term, we went outside into our school grounds to collect some data about vertebrates, invertebrates, flowering and non-flowering plants ready to compare to our Summer data next term.
Our French Shopping Day!
Today, we enjoyed a shopping spree for vegetables! We practised our speaking and listening skills through ‘buying’ vegetables from each other. The challenge was to find which two vegetables were missing – the children quickly identified these as ‘les oignons’ and ‘les petis pois’ and we added them to our shop.
Yoga!
Today, we enjoyed a Yoga session together. We learnt and practised breathing techniques, yoga poses and relaxation methods. All linked with Noah’s Ark, we were able to create animal poses, think about movement through our bodies and ways to relax our breathing with feathers.

We learnt about the meaning of Diwali being the festival of light to signify light triumphing darkness and good triumphing over evil. We had a go at creating […]
