In history, the children have researched Anglo-Saxons and Viking settlements. They have then compared them to Stone Age, Roman and modern settlements thinking about which on they would prefer to live in and why. The children have then used this historical knowledge to write about Anglo-Saxon and Vikings settlements using co-ordinating conjunctions.
In maths, the children have been converting between different units of time as well as using a calendar. From this, they have learnt how to tell the analogue time to the nearest minute. The children have also developed their problem and reasoning skills to solve pattern and rule problems by generalising and describing it with mathematical proof.
In science, the children have begun to learn about sounds and how they are made by vibrations. They have also investigated how sound travels through sound waves and how the further away you are from the source of a sound the quieter the sound is.
In computing, the children have begun to learn about computer networks and the hardware devices within them along with their purpose within a computer system. They have thought about what the Internet is, how network devices make up the internet and outlined how information can be shared via the World Wide Web.
As well as all, on the 27th March the children visited St Michael’s Church in Madeley to take part in Experience Easter. The children took part in six small group activities where they talked about different aspects of the Easter Story and then what that means to Christians. At each station there was a small activity to complete such as thinking about hopes and dreams, thinking about how we can help others, taking part in the last supper and creating art using pipe cleaners for the Garden of Gethsemane.
Finally, the children in year 3 and 4 put on an amazing, spectacular Easter Production which they performed to the rest of the school and to parents.
