Fourth Class 2014 – 2015

4th & 5th class recently took to the floor in the GPR and performed a two minute gymnastics routine (in groups) that the children had choreographed themselves. There were cartwheels, rolls, handstands, pyramids, and stunts using benches and the horse. It was a spectacular end to our Gymnastics PE lessons.

A very entertaining and enjoyable time was had by all in fourth and fifth class on Friday 12th December as they performed their Christmas Concert – The X-Mas Factor to a packed GPR. The concert was a twist on the popular TV series ‘The X-Factor’.

Here are a few pictures of us in our costumes:

Fourth & Fifth class read extracts from Roald Dahl’s “The BFG”  based on Dreams. We read some of the BFG’s Dreams and how he placed his dreams, which he caught with his net, into dream jars.

We wrote our own dreams, using the BFG as inspiration, and created dream jars to accompany our stories.

Here are our stories and dream jars:

Fourth & Fifth class have been busy learning about the Ancient Romans in history. They have learned a lot about these people.

The Romans made very elaborate mosaics.  They made counter tops, walls and even whole floors of rooms out of mosaics. Mosaics were practical because they were easy to wash and helped to keep the house cool. They were also beautiful. The Romans loved to combine a practical purpose with wonderful art.

Here are examples of the mosaics we created from glass tiles.
