4S
Welcome to our Class page!
Design Technology:
In Design Technology, we have been designing and creating our own pencil cases. The children began with a 2D shape and transformed it into their own 3D products using felt as the main fabric material.
We carefully explored two joining techniques: blanket stitch and running stitch. The children showed great determination and resilience while learning these new sewing skills, and I am incredibly proud of how well they rose to the challenge. Every child worked hard and did a fantastic job sewing their pencil cases together.
Numeracy Day:
This week in Maths we are learning about money. The children have been busy applying mental calculations and their recognition for money. We enjoyed some practical maths playing shopkeepers to start our lesson!
In Art we have been busy learning about the influential artist, J.M.W Turner. We carefully studied two of his famous watercolour paintings: Distant Mountains and Mountains beside the River. We worked hard to colour mix using watercolours and used effects that replicate Turner. Such as using the end of the paintbrush, and using our finger nails. Here are our Amazing Artists!
In RE we have closely looked at the Easter story. Using colours we thought carefully about the mood and emotions for Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Here are our powerful pieced of artwork!
In English we have been busy learning about different types of poetry. The children had a go at performing a poem called Louder by Roger Stevens.
In Class 4S we have been busy creating some Easter artwork. We carefully explored the three events within the Christian calendar: Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We selected colours to depict the mood of each of these days.
World Book Day 2026 📚 🐛
To celebrate World Book Day today we have visited the school library on a scavenger hunt! The children worked in pairs to find a range of books that matched the descriptions given. We then all chose a book that appealed to us to bring back to class. We read the blurbs and shared with our partners our chosen book choices. As a class we shared our favourite stories and thought carefully about the best villains, funniest characters and unexpected twists!
What fabulous costumes 4S, you all look BRILLIANT!!!

For the next 3 weeks we will be focussing on the 7 times table before we move on to the 9 times table.
Christmas Nativity:
We are so proud of Class 4S for their hard work, confidence and dedication to our LKS2 Christmas Nativity. You ALL were fantastic!

As part of our history topic, the Anglo Saxons we looked at the different Anglo Saxon place names using an atlas.
