Class 4

Welcome to Class 4.  I'm Mrs Milward and I am Class 4's teacher.  We are based in the oldest and original part of the school, with a very spacious layout and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Miss Greening will be supporting us with our learning. 

Roman Catapults 

To finish our learning of the Roman Invasion in Britain, Class 4 have researched, designed and made their own catapults. We put our inventions to the test by firing marshmallows. We had great fun!

Under Attack!

Our topic for the next 3 half terms is 'Under Attack' with a focus on the Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Viking invasions of Britain. We have an exciting trip to the Corinium Museum in Cirencester planned to support the children with their learning of Roman history and the legacy this has on modern day Britain. We look forward to sharing more of our learning with you. 

Topic Display 

The children are really enjoying learning about the Amazon Rainforest. They have had the opportunity to learn about Biomes across the world and compare a region of South America with Worcester. Some of the children have also made a rainforest diorama for their homework- I have been so impressed with their creativity!

Talented Artists

Class 4 have been demonstrating their wonderful artistic skills with the use of watercolour and acrylic paint. We have been inspired by the work of Henri Rousseau and have painted our own rainforest inspired leaf paintings. 

AMAZING AMAZON

Class 4 have kick started their 'Amazing Amazon' topic with a creative super start. The children designed and painted their own Amazonian inspired tribal maks. They are very effective! This term, we will be learning about the rainforest and the human and physical geography of South America. We are really looking forward to our visit to the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham, this will really support the childrens learning.

Please check back throughout the term to find further updates of our learning. 

Crime and Punishment 

Our topic this term is 'Crime and Punishment'. The children are really looking forward to finding how punishment has changed over time. We will be focusing on a different time period in our topic lessons through to the present day. This will enable the children to make comparisons and question why things are so different now. Our DT project for this term links nicely with our topic; we will be designing and making a wooden punishment tool. 

World Book Day 

Cluster netball tournament

Class 4 had a fantastic morning at Bredon Hill Academy participating in the cluster school's netball tournament. The children showed great team work and determination, demonstrating some fantastic netball skills. Although we sadly didn't win overall, the children were victorious in a few of their matches. Well done Class 4!! 

Spring Term 2024

Our topic for this term is 'Secrets of the Sphinx'. We will be learning all about life in Ancient Egypt, the children are really looking forward to this. To kick off our learning, we had our 'WOW' afternoon, the children spent the afternoon making a large scale Sarcophagus for our display, Egyptian neck collars and wrote their names in hieroglyphics. We will also be having an Egyptian workshop later on in the term, this will provide children with the opportunity to become immersed into Egyptian life. 

In English, our focus is on Egyptian myths, the children are learning about the different gods and myths. Following this, they will create their own god and write their own myth- the children can showcase their creativity. 

Walk like an Egyptian

Class 4 have been working so hard designing and creating their Egyptian headdress portraits. They look fantastic and were too good not to share on our class page! 

Global Explorers Week 

We started the Spring term off with a trip to South America. The children had a fun-filled three days learning about culture, identifying the different countries, food tasting and a Zumba lesson. Following this, we had an art morning. Class 4 looked at the work of Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes, inspired by her work the children created their very own paintings. The colour inspiration for their art work came from the flags of the countries in South America. The children showed great creativity and produced some super paintings.
