​We are all very excited for our trip to Plymouth Aquarium on Tuesday 2nd July. We are linking this trip to our science focus on animals and also our art focus for the remainder of the term. We will be creating recycled materials animal sculptures to help promote recycling and conservation of our natural habitats. 
 
Please can pupils start bringing in any recycled materials to help with our sculptures. Plastic and cardboard boxes would be great! No glass or tins though. Thank you. 
 
We have now completed our year 4 Multiplication Times Table Check. The pupils did a great job on this test and it is a useful measure for the school to review how well pupils know their tables. 
 
We are linking our history and reading topics this half term. We are delving into the world of Norse myths for reading and we are learning about the Vikings for history. The class is really enjoying learning about this fascinating period. 
 
In English lessons we are learning all about Shackleton and his expedition to the South Pole. It has been fun being in role as Shackleton and his crew. Our big write will be a newspaper report that highlights the hardships and challenges the crew members had to go through on this historic crossing.
