Summer 2 2026
It has been another busy and exciting half term for our children in Years 3 and 4!
In Geography, the children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring our Extreme Earth topic. They have been learning all about volcanoes, tsunamis and tornadoes, discovering how these natural events are formed and the impact they can have on our world. To bring their learning to life, the children created fantastic miniature models of each phenomenon, demonstrating their creativity alongside their understanding.
In Science, our focus has been on rocks and soils. The children have investigated different types of rocks, explored the layers of the Earth and learned how fossils are formed over millions of years. They have enjoyed carrying out investigations and developing their scientific knowledge through practical activities.
During Artist Day, the children took inspiration from the famous landscape artist John Constable. They carefully studied his work before recreating their own beautiful landscape paintings, experimenting with colour, texture and different painting techniques.
Our annual Activities Week was packed with exciting opportunities for everyone to try something new. The children took part in axe throwing, jujitsu, rock climbing and a variety of sporting events, building confidence, resilience and teamwork throughout the week. As part of their PSHE learning, they also enjoyed a visit to the Fire Station, where they learned about fire safety and how firefighters help to keep our communities safe.
In Design and Technology, Year 3 pupils designed and made their own impressive light boxes, applying their understanding of simple electrical circuits, while Year 4 developed their cooking skills by preparing and making delicious recipes, learning about food preparation, nutrition and kitchen safety.
We are incredibly proud of everything the children have achieved this half term. Their enthusiasm, curiosity and willingness to challenge themselves have made it a wonderful term of learning, and we look forward to seeing what they accomplish next!
