We are really enjoying finding out about Barnaby Bear’s travels around the world. 🐻 Each week we find out about a different country that he has visited.

This week, Barnaby visited Spain! We wrote lots of amazing facts about Spain in our books.

Class 4 had a fantastic time on their trip to St Hilda’s Church this week. They enjoyed looking around the church and finding out about all of the special church artefacts like the font, pulpit, lectern, altar and pews. They thought the stained glass windows were beautiful!

We have been learning about a range of flags from around the world as part of our ‘Barnaby’s Travels’ topic.

We designed and created our own flags in our DT lesson.

This week we have been learning about the features of non-fiction texts. We identified the main differences between fiction and non-fiction texts, then we cut out pictures of a range of book covers and sorted them into the correct columns.

Class 4 had a very special visit from Santa! He gave everyone a lovely present. 🎅🏻

“Merry Christmas!”

Class 4 had a special visit from some ladies from Green Shift who came to our school to do some Christmas science investigations with us. We had lots of fun making toothpaste for Rudolf and snow!

We put some colouring into the snow to make lovely bright patterns.

In our phonics lessons this week we have been reading and writing consonant blends in words. We sorted words ending in consonant blends like ‘tent’ and ‘toast’ and practised writing them in sentences.

Class 4 have been finding the difference between two numbers using cubes, counters and number lines.

Class 4’s Children in Need assembly was absolutely fantastic! There was an important message about helping others and lots of facts about Children in Need.

Super singing and fabulous acting. Well done, everyone!
