We have really enjoyed starting our new topic in English this week – based around the book ‘The Vanishing Rainforest’. We have explored the rainforest with David Attenborough, made masks and found out facts about our favourite rainforest animals and discovered the truths behind deforestation.

Class 4 have been settling back in to school really well this week. We have enjoyed talking about our Christmas holidays. We have also enjoyed learning about measurement in maths this week and starting our new Science topic ‘States of Matter’! It is going to be a great term!

Stars of the week: All of Class 4. Thank you to my lovely class for making my first term with Cathedral School so wonderful. I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas!

We have really enjoyed getting in to the festive spirit this week! We have decorated the Christmas tree and made our own Christmas decorations which we hope you all love!

Class 4 have really enjoyed learning about living things and their changing habitats this half term. We have grouped living things, learnt about different species and this week we have been thinking about living things in our local environment. Today we will be going on a short walk around the outside of the school thinking about the dangers that living things might face. Once we have done this, we will brainstorm ideas of how we might be able to help protect living things in our local areas.

What a fantastic day we all had at the Natural History Museum on Thursday! We started out the day at the investigate zone taking on the role of a scientist to examine different objects. Next, it was off to The Variety Show! Lots of us made a staring role in the show as we grouped and learnt about different species. We finished off the day in the Creepy Crawly zone exploring invertebrates, anthropods and arachnids!

We have really enjoyed learning about the Vikings this half term. This week we looked at poems written about the Vikings. One of the poems was written about the Danegeld by Rudyard Kipling. We decided that Rudyard Kipling did not think that the Danegeld was a very good idea and lots of us agreed! We read another poem written about the Vikings and we really enjoyed the opportunity to act it out using our knowledge of their history!

Stars of the week – All of Class 4

We had a fantastic day yesterday for Spanish day. We enjoyed completing maths using our knowledge of Spanish numbers and worked as a team to solve a Spanish word problem! We have rewritten the story of The Hungry Caterpillar in Spanish where the caterpillar eats his way through paella and churros! Also, we have been working really hard on our Gaudi mosaics!

Over the past two weeks we have been looking at information texts in English. We have really enjoyed exploring the text ‘A walk in London’. We have now started writing our own information text including a story of a walk through London. Once they are finished, we hope to share these with class 3 next week!

Before half term we went on a trip to the CLC! We had a fantastic day discussing pollution in the local area to our school. We found out lots of interesting facts and designed a poster for a campaign! We have had a great week this week settling back in to our lessons and we have enjoyed reading the book ‘A walk in London’.

We have worked really hard on our Shard models for design & technology week. We decided to pick The Shard for our landmark as it is so close to our school. We started by talking about the different materials we could use and drawing our designs. As The Shard is very close to school, we went on a walk to look at it and made some sketches of the structure. We hope you loved seeing our fantastic exhibition in the hall!
