This week, we started our mono printing in Art. We even had a special visit from Mr Cross who shared his own mono printing examples which left us all extremely inspired.

Y4 Maths Time Games
We’re back with a bang in year 4! This week we have started a new unit of work in Maths. We are learning about time. We have started by recapping our learning from previous years including years, months and weeks. Today, we started to tell the time from a clock beginning with o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. We played a game to help us embed our knowledge.
Y4 Science – Volume and Pitch
Year 4 have continued their investigations into sound and pitch this week! Today, we experimented with different balls to investigate the impact that size and shape would have on the pitch and volume created by the balls.
Y4 Science – Pitch
This week, Year 4 have been learning about pitch, as part of our ‘Sound’ topic this half term. We investigated using different instruments including homemade ones.
Y4 West Stow Trip
Year 4 became archaeologists for the day and used their skills as Historians to investigate the lives and homes of Anglo-Saxons at West Stow.
A visit from Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service
Today EYFS and KS1 were lucky enough to learn about fire safety from fire fighters from the North Earlham crew. They learned all about the amazing work the fire service do, and they now know some key fire safety tips! Some children got to explore the fire engine and all of it’s equipment, and even saw the hoses in use! KS2 are looking forward to their turn at learning more about fire safety when they return to our school next week. A huge thank you to Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service for giving up their time to join us today!
Religious Education
We have been learning about different symbols in RE. We have thought about what the symbol of the cross means to Christians. We made stained glass windows to help us explore this.
Y4 Science Melting and Heating
This week, Year 4 have been learning about changes of state. To understand how a solid can turn into a liquid, we melted milk, white and dark chocolate. We investigated the time if took each one to melt completely, to see if there was a difference in their melting temperatures.
Y4 Cathedral and Mosque Trip
This week, Year 4 visited Norwich Cathedral where they learnt about some important features of Christianity and the building of the Cathedral.
We also visited the mosque on Rose Lane where they learnt about the Five Pillars of Islam. The children asked many thoughtful questions about Muslim beliefs.
In addition to this, we spent time with Edith Cavell who told us all about her life and how she became a nurse, helping injured soldiers. We then visited her grave which is located at Norwich Cathedral.
It was a very busy but enjoyable day!
Visitor
We recently had a visit from a veterinary nurse. She spoke to us about how to look after different pets. Year 1 found it very interesting.
