Today, Year 4 got on a coach and travelled to Liverpool.
During our morning session, the children were taught all about how the River Mersey was used by people and how it enabled Liverpool to grow into such a massive city. We discussed how goods were transported by sailing ships and eventually huge cargo ships, and also discussed what types of cargo used to come in and out of the city using the river. We found that all sorts of goods were brought into the city from exotic animals like parrots and monkeys to china plates, tea and wool.
After a quick 30 minutes for lunch, we marched across Liverpool to the World Museum. Here, we looked into one of our upcoming topics... The Egyptians. Our guide talked about how Egyptians mummified each other after they'd died. We even performed a mummification ceremony! (It wasn't for the faint-hearted!) As we were doing this, our guide explained about the importance of different Egyptian gods and Egyptian hierarchy within the process.
As a staff, we were all extremely proud of the behaviour of year 4 and the manner in which they conducted themselves around the museums and through Liverpool itself. The children had an excellent time and seemed to enjoy the gory details of mummification in particularly!

During Children's Mental Health week, we took part in lots of different activities to promote positive mental health. We enjoyed an outdoor scavenger hunt which encouraged the children to look for things which made them feel happy/relaxed in the natural environment; we talked about the benefits of being outside on our mental health. During Reward Time, we made 'breathing wands' which can be used to support us when we have uncomfortable feelings, decorated biscuits and did 'scribble art' - all activities to support positive mental health.

Year 5 enjoyed their Lego workshop which gave them chance to develop their design and technology skills to create a fairground ride.
This is what some of the children thought of the workshop.
PARKER
Thursday has been a great experience for Year 5 we have engineered Lego with codes. We made a fairground ride with Lego man Nick it was indescribable. I would rate it 10/10.
PIPPA
It was really fun to build and it was really cool how we could make it move and decorate it however we wanted. I give it 10/10. It was very intresting but it was a bit hard to make. We made a vertispin and it was really cool how it went up and down.

This week in Forest School the children were able to experience the winter weather firsthand because it had snowed. We took every opportunity to explore the snow- making tracks, observing it and feeling it. The children were all really excited.
After that, the children made Fairy Fires. Mr. Brooks explained all about how fire is useful to humans but it can also be very dangerous. The children then had a go at using the strikers to light their own Fairy Fires. All the children had their own fire either lit by themselves or with help. It was fascinating watching the fires.

In our reading ambassador meeting today we made plans for National Storytelling Week which will be held on the week beginning Monday 30th January. The children shared why stories and storytelling is important. They came up with ideas of events that we could do to promote a love of reading and storytelling. The ambassadors are planning to hold a whole school assembly, will be visiting classes to tell stories and they will even be telling stories on the playground at playtimes!

As part of our English Learning, we have been reading the text "Escape from Pompeii".
This week, we have taken part in some drama activities - Conscience Alley (where we were either Tranio or Livia and had to give our reasons for leaving Pompeii). Then we worked in groups, to take part in role-play - acting out the scences from the story.
It was fun and we were able to understand how the characters in the story felt.

This week at Forest School the children were learning about winter. They found out that during winter the birds often go hungry because there is not much food around for them. All of the children made a bird feeder to hang in their garden.

In Year 2 today the children explored texture by creating rubbings. They used their rubbings to create a 'frottage' collage in the style of the artist Max Ernst. They created beautiful animal pieces of art.

Today, Y3 have experienced life as a Roman in the Roman City of Chester.
We visited the Deva Roman Discovery Centre - where we learnt about life as a Roman and how they invaded Britain.
Then, we got to march around the streets of Chester - as a Roman soldier - whilst we visited The Roman Gardens and The Ampitheatre.
It was fun!

Linked to their History learning, Year 3 have researched, designed, constructed and evaluated Roman Forts in Design Technology. They developed lots of different skills, including using nets to made 3D shapes to use in their constructions. We were so impressed with the children's team work when making their finished products. Well done, Year 3!

Maths: We have been extending our knowledge of addition and subtraction.

The children designed their own investigations to discover how shadows changed in relation to their proximity to a light source. The children considered the equipment they would need; the independent variable (what they would change); the controlled variables (what they would keep the same); and the dependent variable (what they would measure). They had some fanatstic scientific ideas and had lots of fun putitng their investigations into practice.

Timestable Chatter Boxes
During year 4, the children must learn all of their timestables from the ones to the twelves. We are always thinking of creative ways to do this from board games, whole class games, bingo, songs, rhymes and now, we have decided to make timestable chatterboxes. The children followed the instructions that were given to them very carefully and created some lovely chatterboxes. After this, each child listed down the eight multiplication facts that they struggle with most and wrote them on. Now, all that was left was to play and practise!
