Classroom Learning
WW2 and VE Day Exploration
As part of the Year 4 topic on Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), our teachers sourced remarkable artefacts, including vintage newspapers linked to this significant historical event of World War 2 (WW2). The children had the opportunity to examine and read these newspapers, deepening their understanding of WW2 and VE Day. This engaging lesson captivated our children, who thoroughly enjoyed the chance to connect with history in such a tangible way.
VE Day Anniversary Celebration
To celebrate the anniversary of VE Day, Year 4 held a party marking the 80th year since the end of World War II. Children were encouraged to wear red, white, and blue, fostering British spirit, unity, and remembrance within our school community.
Skills Builder Project
In Year 4, our children have been engaged in an exciting project aimed at enhancing their mathematical skills through creativity and collaboration. Tasked with creating a number game for younger children, the children worked in teams to develop essential skills such as problem solving and resilience. They began by researching existing board games and selecting a thematic concept. Harnessing their creativity, they generated original ideas, crafted a mock-up, and conducted tests to identify areas for improvement. Through constructive feedback, they refined their designs, culminating in the presentation of their final board games. This project has fostered a positive learning environment, empowering our children to thrive.
