In PSHCE today, Y4J have been exploring the concept of bravery for Child Mental Health Week. We shared our opinions of what bravery is considered to be, as well as some of our own stories and experiences of being brave in certain situations. We also explored the bravery of the character ‘Plop’ from Miss Stewart’s favourite book ‘The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark’ and how he himself built up the courage and determination to develop his own bravery.
In year four we wanted to know how our lives changed from living as Iron Age Celts to being invaded by the Romans!
Using sources of evidence, we explored the attempted invasions to discover which were /were not successful and why. We enjoyed reenacting the invasions in a class Celts V’s Romans battle!
Discussing sources of evidence to order events.
Teams label their evidence based upon what they know.
We worked together to order the events.
As part of our Wow Day to launch the topic, ‘Who first lived in Britain?’, Year 3 designed and made Stone Age replica necklaces. First of all we looked at some photographs of Stone Age necklaces and discussed the materials that these were made from. Using these ideas as a prompt, we designed our own.
We then made our necklaces using clay. We had to make sure there were no cracks in any our pieces.
A few days later, we painted our necklaces and threaded them onto string.
Wow! We can’t believe how beautiful they look!
Team Y3/4 were so proud of the lovely way in which the children applauded winners from other schools. Imagine our delight when we discovered a CPPS sibling had won the top prize in the attendance prize draw! With @VikingFM @Hullccnews @HumberEdTrust
We enjoyed learning about the famous poem in Flanders Fields as it was written during WW1 and links to our topic work. We worked in pairs to rehearse the poem, taking into consideration our pace and pronunciation. We hope you enjoy our videos.

Year 3 and 4 have been on trips to the Streetlife Museum this week! The purpose of our visit was to take part in a workshop called ‘A Child’s War: Evacuation’. During the day, we got evacuated to the countryside, explored a 1940’s street scene and found a bike that had been used by soldiers in WWII. We had a great day!
We wanted to share our progress with you and will continue to post as we develop as musicians 🎻🎼
We explored artefacts in the Streetlife museum, looking for items from during the war in our self guided session. We sketched some of the items that really caught our eye!
We then met Mary, she was our evacuation officer. She met us at the station, dressed us, talked about what we should expect and helped us pack a suitcase. We handled historical artefacts and discussed what the children did with them or needed them for. It was a bit of a shock to us what little they had packed! Once aboard the bus we had a tongue and hand check- luckily we were all in good health. 😝 We sang ten green bottles to entertain ourselves on the long journey to the countryside and some of us even fell asleep!
A fabulous class photo in front of the giant map down Whitefriargate. This is where the People’s Memorial Museum is- all about WW1 and WW2 and well worth a visit. The volunteers there were so knowledgable and helpful, they made us very welcome.
In Y3/4 we are being historians, applying our maths skills to order the many events of WW2 in our humongous timeline. we then focused in on key events which led to major developments within the war.
Fantastic team work, research and questions raised by our super Historians.
This term, the Year Four pupils are lucky to have a visiting specialist Violin teacher, Mr Lynch. As well as teaching us the basics of the violin he is teaching us about genres of music and widening our knowledge of instruments.
This week we were exploring the different sounds that the violin could make – noisy and great fun 🎼🎻
