Creating branching databases

We worked collaboratively to select attributes to separate objects into groups by asking different ‘yes or no’ questions. We then created branching databases!

Making torches

As part of our Design and Technology and Science learning, the children have been combining their knowledge of constructing electrical circuits and using their practical skills to plan, design and resourcefully create a handheld torch! They chose which type of switch to use in their circuit to enable the bulb to light up.

Blists Hill 2026

Class 4 had a wonderful day at Blists Hill, learning all about life in the Victorian times. We visited the Grocers, Chemist, Iron Foundry, Drapers, Sweet Shop, stables, Candle Factory, Post Office and the Bank. After that, the children dressed up as Victorian school children and experienced a lesson taught by a very strict Victorian school teacher! A (very) busy, yet insightful day was enjoyed by all.

Making Sandwiches

For our first design and technology unit we tasted different sandwich fillings, experimented with different combinations and textures and designed and planned our own sandwiches in small groups. Who knew chicken and avocado would be a firm favourite?!

Sketching Roman Emperors

Class 4 had great fun using graded pencils to experiment with different shading including cross hatching, to produce portraits of different Roman Emperors. A great way to combine art and history!

Creating the Water Cycle!

We are learning all about rivers in geography and states of matter in science. To support our learning and show our creativity, we worked collaboratively to make our very own water cycles!

Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre

To support our learning for our topic of rivers, we visited the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre where we studied the River Onny by observing the flow of the water and studying the surrounding landscape. We also got to observe old bones found in owl pellets!

Trip to Blists Hill

As part of our History learning, we visited the Victorian town of Blists Hill. We were lucky enough to dress up as real Victorian children and experience a reading, writing and maths lesson in a traditional Victorian – style classroom! ( With a very strict teacher…). We then explored all of the different shops and houses within the village. We were intrigued by how different life was in the Victorian times and now appreciate how lucky we are to live in the 21st Century!
