Autumn 2 2024
As we reach the end of the autumn term, we are thrilled to share the fantastic achievements and learning experiences the children in Years 3 and 4 have been part of over the past weeks. It has been a busy half term, filled with creativity, curiosity, and collaboration!
Exploring the Rainforest
The children have been learning about the fascinating world of rainforests, including the different layers (emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor) and the incredible animals that call these habitats home. Their curiosity and enthusiasm have brought this topic to life!
Smoothie Designers in the Making
After tasting a variety of fruits, the children used their newfound knowledge to design and create their own smoothies based on their taste preferences. This hands-on activity has been a fantastic way to blend creativity with healthy eating habits.
Classifying Animals
In science, the children have been developing their skills in classifying animals using branching databases. This has not only taught them about the diversity of the animal kingdom but also about logical thinking and categorisation.
Staying Safe Online
We have had important lessons on online safety, equipping children with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the digital world responsibly. These sessions have reinforced the importance of kindness, privacy, and making safe choices online.
Festive Creativity
Some of our talented pupils have been working on a special festive project in collaboration with Brandon Community Forum. They have created beautiful stained glass-style designs that will be displayed in the council offices, bringing a touch of festive cheer to the community.
Looking Ahead:
As we move into the next half term, we are excited to continue building on these successes and exploring new topics including the 'Vicious Vikings' and more about animals and humans.
