Holiday Homework and Thanks!

As part of their English work in Year 5, the children will need to complete a Travel log over the holidays. This could be on paper, using Google Docs, or any other form of recording information about the places you visit. You could include photographs, diary entries, sketches and maps. This work will be used during the start of the Michaelmas term.

Many, many thanks for all your kind words, cards and gifts. All of the staff involved in Year 4 have been very lucky and have so enjoyed teaching such a special and enthusiastic group of children.

Have a wonderful holiday and we will look forward to seeing all of the children on Thursday 7th September.

Year 4 Follow the River Tavy

Please have a look at the photos.

Year 4 spent Monday 3rd July following the River Tavy! We enjoyed activities involving the history of the Tavistock Canal at the museum, writing River Kennings in the park and testing water speed, PH levels and temperature down by the river. It was a super way to end our topic this term.

India Afternoon

On Wednesday 28th June 2017, as part of their IPC topic, Year 4 put on a festival of Indian splendour: learning to write their name in Hindi, smelling Indian spices, recreating the Indian flag, cooking and tasting delicious curry and coconut sweets, drawing the Aum symbol, dressing in saris, spice sampling, henna designs and recreating a structure of the Taj Mahal to name but a few!  The Year 4 classrooms were transformed into an explosion of colour and wonder and much fun was had by all.  The children were a credit to themselves with their complete autonomy over the whole event.  Well done Year 4!
