Year 4 Adventure Art and Trail Quiz Walk
Year 4 have had a great day today taking part in the Advent Art and Trail Quiz Walk. We walked to the Rose Garden first where we did the Advent Trail Quiz and the children worked really well to follow the clues and answer the questions. Next we walked around the garden admiring the beautiful pieces of artwork that the children from St Barnabas had completed. After that we walked to Mrs Gardner's home to enjoy hot chocolate, marshmallows and cream or a hot vimto with a side of chocolate biscuits. Finally, we walked back to the park and went on the playground before heading back to school. The children were great at showing the 4 Bs both in and out of the classroom and it was lovely to watch them all with huge smiles on their faces too.
Year 2 - Christmas Cards
Year 2 enjoyed make our Christmas cards for our chosen loved ones. We created a starry night background box mixing paints. Then we added a Christmas image of their choice to the front. They all looked brilliant and I’m sure who ever receives them will love them!

Year 2 - Fruit Kebabs
Over the past couple of weeks, in English we have been learning how to write a set of instructions. We learnt that each instruction must have a time conjunction and an imperative verb. We also found that some instructions need an adverb. In our final set of instructions we wrote, we told the reader how to make a fruit kebab. As a result of our instructions being superb; I thought it was only right we got the chance to follow our own instructions and make a fruit kebab in class!
Year 4 PE - Using the Climbing Frame and new Gym Equipment
For our PE session today we incorporated all of the skills that we have learned over the past few weeks and transferred these into the new gym equipment. We also got the multi use climbing frame out to give the children more ways to explore travelling, changing position and direction, jumping and landing. It was a great session and all of the children loved it!

It was party day today and the children in Years 4, 5 and 6 came together to play games and show off their best dance moves.
