Year 4's Science learning

In Year 4, we have been learning about sound; how it travels and which medium is the best for it to travel in.

We made string telephones and did a 'scratching' investigation on a table to show that sound travels better through a solid (the string / table) than it does through the air!

So much fun to experiment and learn!

Year 4 Bubble - Art

In Year 4, we have been looking at art with a space focus. Look at these 'out of this world' pieces that have been produced!

World Book Day

The children both at school and home celebrated World Book Day today. Here is a collage of some of the children dressed up as their favourite characters. Year 3 enjoyed their reading for pleasure dressed up as Basiisk, Eliza Boom and Harry Potter

Miss Spillman’s Esafety tips

Disney+ has added a new tile to its platform, called Disney+ Star. This is aimed at an adult audience. To accommodate this change, Disney has now added the ability to make a profile where you can set the age of different viewers, stopping children from viewing star content. Please ensure that if your children are using Disney+ that their profiles are set up appropriately.

One film on Disney+ that you should be aware of is Deadpool 2. This is suitable for 18+ and definitely not appropriate for children.

SafeToNet is an app for parents that help safeguard their children from online risks. During the current COVID-19 outbreak, the SafeToNet foundation is providing free-for-life access to the app for all parents. For more details:
