Spring Term 2025

WC 17th March

This week we began our new English topic. A playscript all about the Plague. We listened to an online extract all about the village of Eyam and are now writing our own playscripts based on this. We have had to thing of lots of imaginative and gross words to describe the symptoms. In Science we have become atoms and acted out all the different ways atoms move in a Solid, Liquid or a Gas.

WC 10th March

Science week!! This week we have been very busy indeed. On Monday we had a visit from Sublime Science and got to make our own slime. On Thursday we had a visit from the planetarium and it was an amazing experience. We could have wathed the stars all day! To end our week we celebrated Holi Festival. It was Mrs Jones' first Holi at Church Lane and we made sure she was very colourful.

WC 3rd March

We continued our learning on The Whale and have written some wonderfully imagintative sentences in our chotting. It's a really lovely story and we are enjoying writing our own narrative. In Geography we have began looking at the Equator and the different poles.

WC 24th February

This week we had lots of visitiors in school and we showed them what amazing children we are. We started our work on materials in Science and continued our learning on the Ancient Greeks in History. In PSHE we have begun learning about peer pressure and how to work in a group.

WC 3rd February

We have continued to work really hard at swimming. Some of us have moved up to the next group. In English we started work on our next narrative based on a wordless picture book called 'The Whale'. We enjoyed an experience day on floating and sinking by making boats from a selection of materials.

WC 27th January

We have been persuasive writers! We dived into our big writes this week and wrote adverts on why parents should choose Church Lane Primary for their children. We were so proud of our efforts. We thought of clever rhymes and puns and there were so many unique selling points to choose from. In Science, we looked at foodchains and how a producer can produce its own energy. It was very interesting.

WC 20th January

This week in we have been working especially hard in Maths. We have been dividing numbers and looking at ways to help us  do this. In History, we had a very exciting lessons on Ancient Greece and whether it was a unified country. We looked at democracy and how this played a part in Athens. We debated in Oracy on whether we would rather be part of Athens or Sparta!

WC 13th January

This week we have continued our learning of multiplication. We used counters to help us understand how groupings work when we multiply 2 digits by 1 digits. This helped us with our 3 digits by 1 digit and we used fantastic mathematical language. In Science we looked at Ecosystems and habitats and the differences in these. As Geographers, we looked at the continent we live in-Europe. Mrs Jones was amazed with our map work and the countries of Europe we were familiar with.

WC 6th January.

Welcome back Year 4. We hope you has a restful break? This week we have started our persuasive advert. We looked at plastic pollution and what it was doing to our planet. We learn about this crazy invention called 'Stroodles', which is straws made from Pasta. We will be using all our leanring from this over the next few weeks to help us write our own advert. Watch this space!!!

In PE we had our swimming assessments and Mrs Jones couldn't believe how much resilience we had. We really showed our Church Lane culture. In History we began our leanring on the Ancient Greeks by creating a timeline.
