3rd to 6th October
This has, effectively, been a short week for us in class. Friday was an INSET day, so there was no school and, on Thursday, we had an educational visit to the National Space Centre in Leicester.
The National Space Centre proved to be an exciting and worthwhile venue for a visit to help develop our understanding of ideas linked to our science work on the Earth, Sun and Moon and to provide experiences which could not be addressed in the classroom. There were many practical activities to try out and lots of information to find.
Another special event in our week was our school harvest festival. All the year groups gave a short presentation and our class, together with our parallel Year 5 class, used the story of the Little Red Hen as the heart of ours.
In the rest of the week, we did a little more computer programming, completed our unit of work on the farm industry of the Lake District, thought about strategies for mental addition and subtraction in maths and started learning how to write more well-crafted non-fiction paragraphs in English.
