Roman Soldiers!
The Meerkats have become Roman Soldiers! The children tried out different army formations and followed commands in Latin! They were amazing!
Year 4
Barnsley Music Education Hub website now has new features which we really hope will support schools. As well as a new Online Learning section that was developed last term, we have also been working hard to reduce the amount of printed paper resources that we use, therefore we have included the following documents online:
· Pupil Practice Diary
· Pupil Handbook (Lots of information about how lessons work)
· New Starter Form (Pink Form)
Here is The link to these documents:

Fabulous French
The Meerkats really enjoyed learning a traditional French song in their lesson this week. Here they are performing the song with their actions.
Investigating
We investigated how our digestive system works using a sealable bag (stomach), a pair of tights (small intestine), biscuits, bananas, orange juice and water.
New Skills
We learned shading skills using soft pencils. We selected sections of the Colusseum to practise our dark and light shading techniques.
Incredible Generosity
Our #IncredibleCommunity have shown compassion, kindness and generosity! Our Year 3/4 Harvest Presentation contributions will be used to help those in need within Cudworth!
Thank you xx
Welcome Everybody
#TeamHarvest can’t wait to welcome the families of our children in year 3 and 4 into school tomorrow!
You are all in for a treat!!
Vocabulary Designers
We laughed and laughed! We designed our own nonsense words, in the style of Roald Dahl. Wellycopter and plantasaurus are just a couple of our favourites!
Teamwork
We’re sharing chapter 8 of the Twits with our reading partners. Our VIPERS focus was vocabulary.
Great Gift!
What teacher wouldn’t be delighted with a glass eye in a jar of beer? Our class text is The Twits.
Band Update
Here’s Birkwood Brass in full rehearsal at 9am this morning. Many new members have joined our experienced musicians to benefit from fabulous musical opportunities!
A Welcome Gift!
A special treat from Grandma – inspired by our class text.
Democracy Matters
Today was Hustings and the official ballot for our Year 4 School Councillors
Gingerbread Delights!
On Friday morning, the Year 3/4 Meerkats worked with Mrs Whitfield to bake some delicious gingerbread. In the afternoon, the children were allowed to decorate and eat their tasty treats!
The children linked their baking to their PSHCE work by trying to create a gingerbread figure to reflect their perfect friend! What do you think of the designs?
Remarkable Reading!
The Year 3/4 Meerkats are exploring Roald Dahl’s ‘The Twits’ this half term. Here they are using their reading buddies to help them retrieve important information about the characters from the story. #ReadingRocks #InspireCherishAchieveTogether

CHOIR!
Our first choir rehearsal, for 18 months, was sensational! There are so many talented singers and they’re already beginning to work as a team. Our school choir welcomes children from Y1 to Y6.
Philosophy
Compassion, innovation and social equality featured strongly in today’s philosophy discussions. Our chosen question: “Who helps with homelessness?”

Skilful Sportspeople
We worked on powerful bounces, long throws and chest passes, as well as dodging today. There are lots of skilful sportspeople in Year 4!
Information Seekers
We have been learning about the lives and duties of Roman Centurions and Legionaries. A non-fiction, shared reading text focused our brains, for a day of historical research and creative learning!
