Pipits - Y4/5

What a start to the year! Pipits began the year by discussing the values we want our class to hold. After much deliberation and a class vote, we settled on:

We are brave
We are unique
We are patient
We try our hardest

Then it was time to launch into the curriculum!

In English, Pipits wrote wonderful poems about friendship, incorporating emotive language, similes, metaphors and abstract nouns. Concurrently, we have been enjoying reading the tales of Charles Darwin's voyage around South America and to the Galapagos Islands.

In Maths, we have been exploring place value and the myriad of ways we can represent and partition numbers all the way up to 1 million.

In our wider curriculum subjects, Pipits have enjoyed: analysing animal teeth to identify their diet; categorising industries; sampling blues music; investigating data fields and their application to top trump cards; exploring key Muslim beliefs and places of worship; drawing self-portraits in an abstract style; and playing invasion games while developing tag rugby skills.

Throughout it all, they have been smiling and trying their best. Here's to an exciting year ahead!

Year 3 - Trip

Year 3 had a fanstastic time at Adventure Okehampton. We threw axes (plastic and real ones), tackled obstacles, shot arrows in archery and climbed to new heights.

They showed great teamwork and cheered each other on during team challenges.
