4R Spring Term

Welcome back to the Spring Term in 4R! We have so much to look forward to in our learning and are very excited to get started!

Reading

We have started our new class novel called 'Varjak Paw' by S.F.Said. It's an exciting story about a cat who learns a special kind of cat ninja to help defeat the villain of the story and his black cats. We're excited to see how it develops!

Science

Our science topic is all about sound! We'll be finding out all about how sound travels and how we hear, including looking inside the ear!

In term 2 we looked at electricity and made circuits, testing materials to see if they were a conductor or an insulator.

Geography

In Geography we will be looking at volcanoes and earthquakes and answering the enquiry question "Why do volcanoes and earthquakes only happen in certain parts of the world?" We look forward to sharing our findings with you!

Spring Term 2

History

Who were the Anglo-Saxons? Where did they come from? How did they reshape Britain after the Romans left? These and many other questions will be answered through out Anglo-Saxon unit of work!

Science

In Spring term 2 we looked at electricity and how to safely use appliances in the home. We made circuits from cells, wires and bulbs, testing materials to see if they were conductors or an insulators.

Reading

We have read many extracts this term but our absolute favourite was Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell. In fact, we loved it so much, many of us bought the book or audiobook so we could finish it at home!

Persuasive posters

We have had lots of fun learning how to be persuasive so that we can write our persuasive posters linked to our great story, Varjak Paw! We really enjoyed advertising these everyday items and voting on the most persuasive pitch!

Numbers Day

We had a great day on Friday celebrating numbers day! In PE we took part in a numbers scavenger hunt which was great fun! We used paper rectangles to investigate perimeter in maths which is really helping us with our current topic. And we even did maths in French which was brilliant! 

World Book Day 2025

We had a great day celebrating reading, including dressing up as our favourite book character from around the world! we made paper plate book covers which were brilliant! We had a great time reading with our Reading Buddies from Year 1 and really enjoyed the BBC Live Lesson which came from Bradford!
