Year 4 enjoyed our Forest School session this afternoon which was linked to our current Science topic ‘Grouping and Classifying’. We explored the Plant Kingdom and Plant Classification to further develop our knowledge and understanding of classification keys.
This week we have been focusing on developing our posture during our Oracy sessions. Year 3/4 were tasked with balancing a book on their head whilst maintaining good posture through keeping our shoulders back and down and our torso up straight. We enjoyed the challenge and competed against each other to see how far we could travel whilst keeping the book balanced.
Year 3/4 had a lovely start to the morning with eating pancakes and sharing poetry books as part of our reading for pleasure. We enjoyed sharing these poems between the two classes.
Reception spent the morning celebrating Chinese New Years with our friends at St. Oswald’s before finding out more about the country of China in the afternoon.
