4GR Wonderful Wilderspin

What a fantastic day we had experiencing what it might have been like for children during World War 2. From evacuation to recycling scrap; school lessons to air raids, we had a great taste of life in the forties and will be able to use the experience throughout this expedition.

Wilderspin trip

This week, year 4 went on a school trip to Wildrespin to experience what it would be like as an evacuee during WWII. We looked at different job roles during WWII, learnt more about The Blitz, as well as experiencing leaving home and attending a new school.

Blind date with a book

3F picked their favourite book and wrapped it up. On the front of the wrapping, we labelled the reading colour and wrote the first sentence or blurb of the book. We can now add our books to our Crew reading shelf. Would you like a blind date with a book?

Crew team building

Today, year 4 Crews enjoyed going out onto the field and playing some team building games. Well done Crew Farrow for winning the pipe and ball challenge!

We are Crew!

4F enjoyed adding to one of our Crew graffiti walls yesterday. We discussed what Crew means to us, and worked as a team to complete our part of the wall.

PE day

The year 4 PE day is Wednesday. Please remember to come to school in your PE kit every Wednesday.

First day back

Welcome back to school! Yesterday, we launched our Crew week focus, reading. We enjoyed foraging for different materials to make our own book front cover. Some students were inspired by existing stories, like the three little pigs and Indiana Jones.

4GReat First Day Back!!!

It was lovely to see everyone back today and ready to start the autumn term of our new school year.

We have introduced the idea of the positive Character Traits: Respect; Compassion; Quality and Craftsmanship; Integrity and Courage and thought about which traits we would like to develop.

We also discussed our ‘First Week Back’ guiding question “How can we work together to achieve and end goal?” and how that applies to our end product of an outdoor library.

This afternoon we were inspired by books in our outdoor learning to create book images using natural resources.
