Mental Health Awareness Week
As part of mental health awareness week, the children have been participating in a number of activities and as a class we discussed the benefits of taking a break from our busy days to give our mind some time. Here are some pictures of our class meditating before the end of the day to calm our minds.
Topic - Water.
During Spring Term, we have been developing our knowledge of water and how water around us can affect our lives. We have recently been learning about the water cycle. Here is a catchy song which helped the children understand the cycle!
Indoor PE - Karate.
We have been incredibly lucky this term to have a Karate instructor to teach the children some new moves and techniques. The children absolutely love it and are extremely focused during each individual session.
English
Our most recent unit in English was Instruction Texts. The children had a fabulous week full of exciting activities that involved reading, writing and following a set of instructions. Day 1, we wrote a set of instructions for baking cupcakes. Day 2, we followed a set of instructions for an in school treasure hunt (where we had to use trundle wheels for measurements). Day 3, we followed our written set of instructions to bake our very own cupcakes!
Day 1 - Writing Instructions
Day 2 - In School Treasure Hunt
Day 3: Following Instructions

Last Tuesday, Year 4 travelled to Southend for our school trip. We visited the Sea Life Centre and was able to explore the centre and its relation to our Topic of Water. The children had a fantastic time, take a look at the pictures below to see what we got up to!
